I am not a football fan any longer, but I do know some names...
Lou "the toe" Groza, Elroy "crazylegs" Hirch, Jim Brown, ...even O.J. Simpson-when he confined himself to football...
and some who SHOULD be legends, Art Monk, who caught many, many touchdown passes and did not bother to showboat in the end zone.

The entire Washington defensive line in the late 70s..Joe Jacoby, Jeff Bostic, Mark May, George Starke and Russ Grimm.."The Hogs"

Dick Butkis, Alex Karras... and a few more.

I used to watch when Washington was winning under Joe Gibbs, and I picked up some history.
