26. Chuck Howley in Super Bowl V

LB, Dallas Cowboys

Chuck Howley is already the third Cowboy to crack this all-time list and like the others — he definitely deserves his spot. Although he is one of the most unprecedented members on this entire list. Howley was the first defensive player to win the Super Bowl MVP award and is still the only player to win the award despite playing for the losing team in the big game.

What did Howley do to deserve the award? He simply took over the game. He was known as one of the best coverage linebackers in the NFL, but on Jan. 11, 1970 he showed the nation why that was an undebatable fact. Howley intercepted two passes and recovered a fumble in Super Bowl V. Now that’s a game worth remembering.
