10. Fred Biletnikoff

While former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jeff George easily had the best trash ‘stache of the early 1990s, Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Fred Biletnikoff has the best trash ‘stache of all-time. That was filthy, yet glorious. You know those Oakland Raiders teams in the 1970s partied hard.

If Biletnikoff’s hair and mustache combo didn’t serve as the inspiration for David Wooderson in Dazed and Confused and Ray Stussy in Fargo‘s third season on FX, that just wouldn’t be right. Just one look at that photo of supreme excellence and then you just wish you would have been as lucky to go to a pool hall with Biletnikoff and Ken Stabler in the 1970s.

Biletnikoff definitely used Stickum to catch some balls for the Raiders. He was also an incredible wideout for the Florida State Seminoles. If you’re the best wide receiver in college football, you will win the Biletnikoff Award.

Had football not worked out for Biletnikoff, he could have definitely been a roadie for the Allman Brothers Band. He did play college football in North Florida in Tallahassee and he probably partied with Stabler during his playing career. The dude was a champion, like he won Super Bowl XI MVP for the Raiders.
