No. 71 | Alex Karras
The fiesty lineman played 12 seasons for the Lions and was an All-Pro selection four times
before retiring for a career in Hollywood and the immortal line,
"Mongo only pawn in game of life."
Runner-up : Tony Boselli.
Worthy of consideration : Charles Mann.
No. 72 | Carlton Fisk
Reversed his jersey number when he came to the White Sox via trade in 1981.
(His No. 27 was retired by the Red Sox in 2000.)
Fisk owns the record for most games caught (2,226).
Runner-up : Dan Dierdorf.
Worthy of consideration : Ed "Too Tall" Jones.
No. 73 | John Hannah
SI proclaimed him "The Best Offensive Lineman of All Time"
on the cover of the Aug. 3, 1981 issue.
Believe the hype. Hannah played 13 seasons for the Patriots
and was named All-Pro 10 straight years from 1976 through 1985.
Runner-up : Ron Yary.
Worthy of consideration : Joe Klecko.
Before he became an actor and commercial pitchman,
Olsen terrorized quarterbacks during his 15-year-career with the Rams
and played in 15 straight Pro Bowls.
Runner-up : Bob Lilly.
Worthy of consideration : Bruce Matthews.
No. 75 | Deacon Jones
A sack-master before it became cool, the 6'5' defensive end teamed with tackle
Merlin Olsen to give the Rams a "Fearsome" left side of the defensive line.
Runner-up : Mean Joe Greene.
Worthy of consideration : Forrest Gregg, Howie Long.
No. 76 | Lou Groza
You have to love a kicker who is nicknamed The Toe and wears a lineman's number.
Groza played 21 seasons, mostly with the Browns,
and led the NFL in field goals five times.
Runner-up : Marion Motley
Worthy of consideration : Rosey Grier, Orlando Pace.
No. 77 | Red Grange
His is one of only two numbers retired by Illinois.
Here's why: On October 28, 1924, Grange scored on runs of 95, 67, 56, and 45 yards
-- in the first quarter. He scored a fifth touchdown in the third
and passed for a sixth in the final quarter.
As a pro with the Bears, his fame rivaled Jack Dempsey and Babe Ruth.
Runner-up : Ray Bourque.
No. 78 | Anthony Munoz
The dominant offensive tackle of his era, Munoz played 13 seasons for the Bengals (1980-92)
and was elected to the Pro Bowl 11 straight times.
Runner-up : Art Shell.
Worthy of consideration : Bobby Bell, Bruce Smith, Jackie Slater.
No. 79 | Harvey Martin
Ferocious pass-rushing defensive end was a four-time Pro Bowl pick
and co-MVP of Super Bowl XII with tackle Randy White.
His 114 career sacks remain tops among all Cowboy defenders.
Runner-up : Bob St. Claire.
Worthy of consideration : Roosevelt Brown.
No. 80 | Jerry Rice
The NFL's career leader in receptions (1,549), yards (22,895) and touchdowns (208),
Rice was a key member of four Super Bowl champions as a San Francisco 49er.
Runner-up : Kellen Winslow.
My Comment : 이전 포스트부터 주~욱 봐오신 분들에게 더이상 무슨 설명이 필요할까요?
역시나 NFL 스타들 잔치입니다. 포지션의 특성상 50번 후로는 참 처참할 지경이군요.
이번 10명의 선수들 중에는 그나마 MLB에서 칼튼 피스크만이 NFL의 독주를 막았군요.
하지만!
저에게는 제일 마지막에 등장한 선수때문에 다른 선수들은 눈에도 안 들어옵니다.
그야말로 레전드 중의 레전드. NFL을 대표하는 와이드리시버 제리 라이스입니다.
일전에 보셨던 조 몬태나와 함께 샌프란시스코 포티나이너스의 황금시대를 이끌었던 영웅.
몬태나가 떠난 후에는 스티브 영과 짝을 이뤘고 그 이후에는 가르시아의 공을 받았지만
결국 말년에는 샐러리캡과 팀 리빌딩의 과제를 안았던 샌프란시스코를 떠나 이적했죠.
그의 이적당시 쓰라렸던 아픔이 생각나는듯 하네요.
아마도 이 뒤로는 NFL 와이드 리시버의 연속이려니 싶습니다.
