Time to take my childhood hero Steve Atwater. Also please remove the Raiders after Woodson's name and replace it with Ravens. Lets just all pretend he never played for those A holes. Thank You.

OK guys, say a prayer for your offensive linemen. Not even the Great Wall of China could stop Bubba Smith and his new partner on the right side of the Old Farts DL - Randy White.

Don Hutson, WR, Packers.

Another history lesson for the young'uns:

(Compiled from a variety of sources)

Before there was Jerry Rice, before there was Steve Largent, before there were even pass patterns, there was Don Hutson.

"Hutson Does It Again!"

"Don Paces Packers to World Title!"

"Amazing Hutson Can't Be Stopped!"

Headlines of this nature were commonplace during the 11-year reign of Don Hutson with the Green Bay Packers from 1935 through 1945. They tell, in a few short sentences, why "the Alabama Antelope" is still considered by many as the greatest pass receiver who ever lived.

Without question, Hutson is the "yardstick" player of the pass-receiving profession. He caught a touchdown "bomb" on his very first play as a rookie and finished his career with 99 touchdown receptions, a record that stood for more than four decades. When he retired after the 1945 season, Hutson had caught 488 passes, more than two and a half times the number of his closest rival. His career TD receptions were an astounding 62 ahead of the next guy in line.

Hutson invented modern pass receiving. He created Z-outs, buttonhooks, hook-and-gos, and a whole catalog of moves and fakes that have defined the position for decades.

He could outmaneuver and outrace virtually every defender in the league. Hutson led the league in receptions eight times, including five consecutive seasons (1936-37, 1939, 1941-45). He led the league in receiving yards seven times, including four consecutive seasons (1936, 1938-39, 1941-44). He led the league in touchdown receptions nine times, including five consecutive seasons (1935-38, 1940-44). He led the league in touchdowns of any type eight times. (By comparison, no player since then, not even Jim Brown or Emmitt Smith, has led more than three times.) All of these achievements remain NFL records. Twice, in 1941 and 1942, he was named the league’s MVP.

Hutson played in an era of 10- to 12-game seasons, so his records might have stood forever if he had the 16-game opportunities enjoyed today. Twenty percent of all his receptions were touchdowns. He scored a total of 105 touchdowns in just 117 games.

By any interpretation, his marks, when compared with his contemporaries, clearly demonstrate that he was a man ahead of his time. Along with Sammy Baugh, Don Hutson was a dominant factor in the offensive evolution of pro football. When Hutson and Baugh first entered the NFL, pro football was a run-oriented game with the forward pass being used only in desperation or as a surprise play. By the time the two retired, the forward pass had become a major part of every NFL’s team offense.

Like everyone in the days before free substitution, Hutson was a 60-minute player who spent most of his career as a very fine safety on defense. In his final six seasons, he swiped 30 opposing quarterbacks’ passes. He also acted as a placekicker, who hit 172 extra points in his career. In one quarter of a 1945 game, he caught four touchdown passes and kicked five PATs for a total of 29 points. Hutson remained the Packers' all-time leader in scoring with 823 points until Ryan Longwell finally surpassed him in 2003.

In 1951, Hutson's uniform number 14 became the first to be officially retired by the Packers.

Charter member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1963.

In 1970, Hutson was named to the NFL's All-50 Year Team.

In 1994, he was named to the NFL's All-Time Two-Way team and the 75th Anniversary team.

Among ESPNs top 100 American athletes of the 20th century, Hutson was also named by Sporting News as the 6th greatest NFL player of all time.

Great pick.

At left tackle [Parker] earned All-Pro honors four straight times from 1958 to 1961.

In the middle of the 1962 season he was moved to left guard and at year’s end was named All-Pro at both tackle and guard. He then followed up with three straight seasons of earning All-Pro accolades at guard (1963 to 1965). During this period Parker played in eight consecutive Pro Bowls.
