Green Bay Packers: WR Sterling Sharpe

Green Bay Packers’ wideout Sterling Sharpe, a five-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro, made quite the impression in a short time. He never missed a regular-season game in seven seasons, totaled 595 catches for 8,134 yards and 65 scores and was the first NFL player to catch at least a 100 passes in consecutive seasons (1992-93).

Also Consider: S LeRoy Butler

Houston Texans: DL Gary Walker

The Texans don’t have a lot of players eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But defensive lineman Gary Walker might be their best example until the likes of wide receiver Andre Johnson and running back Arian Foster can be considered. He played 11 seasons, six with Houston, and earned Pro Bowl invites with the Jaguars and Texans.

Also Consider: OL Chester Pitts

Indianapolis Colts: LB Mike Curtis

The intense defender recently passed away (via Childs Walker of the Baltimore Sun). But linebacker Mike Curtis made his mark in Baltimore Colts’ history and was one of the league’s fiercest players of his era. The four-time Pro Bowler played 14 seasons, the first 11 with the Colts, finishing with 29 takeaways during his stint with the team.

Also Consider: WR Reggie Wayne
