A unique list with three Men who had a significant hand in the Buccaneers only World Championship. (Dungy, Lynch, Brooks)
Dungy was superior in his approach and his style of coaching...
Lynch was a Thumper at Safety and one of the best of his time...
D-Brooks a Top 10 Players All-Time out of Florida State was Special from day one...
Raiders and Heisman Trophy Winner Tim Brown...was a special WR and Kick Returner
Charles Haley was an outstanding Sack Man playing for both the Niners and Cowboys as they were both dominant defenses with him playing DE...
Place Kicker Morten Anderson who last sent the Atlanta Falcons to a Super Bowl with a GW in the Metrodome...
Eddie DeBartolo Jr. was the Architect and built that 49ers Brand and now his Nephew Jed York runs the New Niners getting New Digs this season called Levi Stadium names after of course Levi 501 Jeans.
Marvin Harrison is connected forever with now Manning mile High as all they did was combine for 112 TDs...the former 'Cuse Orangeman from South Philly was a "Monster on the Outside" and now i am watching Luck and T.Y. Hilton...just saying!
Walter Jones one of the best Offensive Tackles in the Game and one of 4 Seahawks Retired (12th Man Jersey is #4) with DT Cortez Kennedy and WR Steve Largent both NFL HOFs should tell you something about the former FSU All-American.
Bills Great WR Andre Reed of Kutztown University in PA is connected to Bills HOF Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas, and QB Jim Kelly and he has to get in with his Numbers and what he meant to Bills Football...
Will Shields one of the greatest Chiefs Lineman ever right along with 2012 HOF Inductee Willie Roaf of the Saints/Chiefs. The former Big Red Lincoln OG was a hammer and one of the top Run-Blockers of his time. Started 223 of his 224 career games...now how about that Arrowhead Fact!
Mr. 22.5 Red Jersey Collections an NFL Sack Record speaks for itself as G-Men DE Michael Strahan was dominant and not late great Reggie White or Bruce Smith dominant...Strahan Dominant!
Aneas Williams was one of the true Shutdown Corners of his time as he played in a time of HOFs CBs Darrell Green, Deion Sanders, and Rod Woodson..and he belongs in that conversation...real talk!
