J-bomb Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I played against Terrence Wilkins in high school he was good. I was a big fan of his return skills in the nfl. Also played with david patten in college I knew he was going to make it the first year I got there an seen him run routes in practice, great guy learned a lot from him...

tibbidoe Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 http://www.nfl.com/draft/story/09000d5d816fb4f0/article/warner-tops-list-of-best-undrafted-players-of-all-time Lou (The Toe) Groza, OT/PK, Ohio State, Cleveland Browns - Groza doubled as an offensive tackle and kicker for 14 years on Cleveland's championship teams of the 1950s before becoming a kicking specialist in 1961 ... Hall of Famer played until he was 43 years old. Emmitt Thomas, CB, Bishop, Kansas City Chiefs - Had 58 career interceptions in a Hall of Fame career. Josh Cribbs, RB/KR, Kent State, Cleveland Browns - College QB, now one of most dangerous return specialists in the game. Nick Lowery, PK, Dartmouth, New England Patriots - One of the most accurate kickers in history, mostly with Chiefs. Tom Dempsey, PK, Palomar (Calif.) College, New Orleans Saints - Still shares record with 63-yard FG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Jumbo Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I forgot Darrel Young and Logan Paulsen were undrafted. I thought they were mid-late round picks. And I COMPLETELY forgot Young was picked up during the Cerrato/Zorn regime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

College, New Orleans Saints - Still shares record with 63-yard FG. I added Emitt Thomas, bumping Nick Harper to honorable mention. Of the rest listed above, I think only Lou Groza merits the all-time list, as a kicker. Does he deserve ranking as an offensive tackle too? Edit: Added Josh Cribbs, too. And Groza as an OT AND kicker. At least a couple of his Pro Bowls are for his play as an OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least a couple of his Pro Bowls are for his play as an OT. I'd agree with your changes, but I'd give Lowery at least an honorable mention, personally. Either way, it's a pretty impressive list. Well done, everyone. EDIT: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/scoring_career.htm All-Time Scoring leaders (undrafted kickers) 4. John Carney - 2,062 9. Adam Vinatieri - 1,867 10. Norm Johnson - 1,736 11. Nick Lowery - 1,711 12. Jan Stenerud - 1,699 13. Ryan Longwell - 1,687 14. David Akers - 1,622 15. Lou Groza - 1,608 44. Mike Vanderjagt - 1,067 93. Tom Dempsey - 729 Okay, so maybe I was wrong about Dempsey. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
End2round2sanders Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 No Victor Cruz? And I don't care, I'd put Deacon Jones on this list. 14th round. cmon now. No one on this list would have been on it with 14th rounds in their time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
