28. T Richmond Webb

Protecting one of the game’s greatest pure passers is quite the responsibility. And left tackle Richmond Webb did his job for the Miami Dolphins for 11 seasons. The ninth overall pick in the 1990 NFL Draft, the former Texas A&M standout was highly reliable for the majority of his career.

In Webb’s first eight seasons, the 6-foot-6, 325-pound standout was a 16-game starter all but one year. The seven-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro suited up for 164 regular-season contests for the club and made 163 starts. There were also 13 playoff contests for Webb, who helped make life a lot easier for Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino.

27. WR Wes Chandler

It’s not a name you hear a lot when it comes to Hall of Fame omissions. Originally the third-overall pick in the 1978 draft, wide receiver Wes Chandler spent three-plus seasons with the Saints before being dealt to the Chargers in ‘81. One of his amazing claims to fame was during the 1982 strike-shortened season.

The league was limited to nine games and Chandler played in eight of them. He finished with 49 receptions for 1,032 yards and nine scores. His career would conclude in 1988 with the 49ers. But the talented four-time Pro Bowler’s 11-year resume included 559 catches for 8,966 yards and 56 touchdowns with three different clubs.
