Lee Evans, from the era when the Bills were consistently trash but always seemed to have a good #1 receiver

Cliff Avril, who was a decent to good DE for Detroit during the Jim Schwartz era, and who later dipped to (successfully) ring-chase in Seattle.

Have a very clear memory of him pick-sixing Phillip Rivers on SNF in 2011, a game that got Detroit its first playoff appearance of the 21st century. Though I guess Detroit had the game well in hand at that point, in my head it was the clinching score.

Todd Pinkston was the lesser talented of a WR pair at Southern Miss.

Sherrod Gideon was better, but had the worst-timed high ankle sprain of all time in his senior season, and couldn't make it out of training camp with the Saints. Ended up bouncing around the CFL.

Josh Reed. Met the dude several times. He was married to my cousin for awhile, won the Biletnikoff Trophy, set a ton of receiving records during his 2 years at LSU, was projected to go in the first round of the draft but then slipped to a high second. Spent his entire career at Buffalo when they were a dire rear end team, had a second shot because he helped Sam Bradford work out before he got drafted to the Rams so there was hope that Bradford might ask the Rams to bring him on board as well (he was a free agent at the time), now coaches High School ball

Shane Lechler is another exception because he was better than Ray and belongs in the Hall of Fame as well.

Lechler and Janikowski were the second and third best players on the Raiders for what felt like 15 years.

indigi: Jul 20, 2004; ^{how can we not talk about family

when family's all that we got?}

maybe not exactly along the thread's line, but inspired by today's episode of Domonique Foxworth's podcast, I present

Clyde Douglas "Bulldog" Turner

played Center and LB
in college he was a Little All American, which is apparently an All American team made up of guys who are deemed too short/light for their position (listed at 6'1 247, which doesn't seem small for the 40s, but maybe he had a growth spurt)
in 1945, while on active military duty as a PT drill sergeant for the US Army Air Force, he was given two weeks furlough to play for the Bears in the playoffs
once at a party he drunkenly "fell" out of a second story window. when a cop ran over to ask what happened, he reportedly said "I don't know, I also just got here"

_{Bulldog as an instructor at basic training}

He�s another of those guys where it seemed announcers always said his full name. Maybe cause it flowed better, maybe cause they just wanted to say Ebenezer.
