00. Jim Otto, C

Not a lot of NFL players have worn the number zero, much less double zero. One of the most notable was wide receiver Ken Burrough, who actually began his career with the New Orleans Saints but eventually blossomed with the Houston Oilers after one season in the Big Easy.

But without question, the most famous of them all was also one of the premier players in the history of the American Football League and eventually the NFL. He entered pro football in 1960 and wore the No. 50, played for 14 more seasons and never missed a game or start. It adds up to 210 regular-season contests and 13 additional postseason games, including Super Bowl II at Miami’s Orange Bowl against the Green Bay Packers. Including AFL All-Star Games, Otto was a 12-time Pro Bowler and 10-time All-Pro.

Yes, there were a few liberties taken with this list when it came to the Silver and Black. But Jim Otto was not only a phenomenal player but his uniform number made him even more memorable. And it is somewhat ironic that he would eventually choose zeroes considering the numbers he put up in terms of excellence and longevity.
