Rickey Jackson
Jackson has been called the most underrated linebacker of all time more than anyone else that has ever stepped foot on the field. The now Hall of Famer is considered to be one of the greatest pass rushers in history, and his 128 career sacks place him in the 16th all-time sack record position. Jackson’s short tenure in the NFL was coupled with an explosive career that made him as an extremely exciting player to watch, he burned bright and died out quickly, leaving his impact on the field faster than a ton of other icons.
Ted Hendricks
Hendricks was an absolute behemoth on the field. At 6’7 and 220 pounds, “The Mad Stork” earned himself into eight Pro Bowls and four All-Pro nominations. From 1969 to 1983, Hendricks was a force to be reckoned with both on and off the field. Teddie was aggressive and passionate on the line, but he quickly shifted into a quiet, respectful, kind and philanthropic gentleman when the cleats came off.
