Awesome work, John! This is the first one that I am in agreement with 100 %. The talent on the Rams' rosters through the decades is incredible. Thanks for doing this project because I see at least one name on every team you post that I had forgotten through the years. This time it was Special Teamer...

This achievement was referenced in the 1977 Colts season highlight video. Does anyone know if this was some type of 'official' award and, if so, who the past recipients were? Also, what were Mike Barnes' unofficial stats for the 1977 season? Banes won the NFLPA Mack Truck Bulldog Award (poll of NFL...

He had a brother, Billy Francis, who also wrestled for their father.

Agreed.

Personally, I didn't like the way he whined about not being elected during the first several years of his eligibility.
He was a good LB, but I have a hard time even placing him in a top 15/20 list of MLB/ILBers.

I pretty much agree with all of the first team selections. John, is there any outlying reason you chose Jim Langer's 1973 over his 1975 season for the 2nd team? I've always leaned towards his 1975 season myself. Do you have any grades for Langer during his all-pro years?

Joe Schmidt really should be on that list. So should Marchetti

I second Tim Lester.

William Andrews should have been one of the all-time greats. What a talent he was. I agree with Teo about Anderson's season being the best for a RB, but which one do you bump off to make room for him? Tough decision.

I agree, Tanks.
