During his rookie season, the Yanks became the Dallas Texans, which
became the Baltimore Colts in 1953. Marchetti played 13 seasons with the
Colts and helped them win NFL Championships in 1958 and 1959. During
his career, he was noted for being effective against the run and a
relentless pass-rusher. He was voted "the greatest defensive end in pro
football history" by the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1972.
A
three time All America choice at defensive end for the University
of Miami Hurricanes, Ted Hendricks is considered the prototype linebacker
of the NFL. He was selected in the second round of the 1969 draft by head coach Don Shula
and the Baltimore Colts and was starting at right linebacker by mid
season. In 1971 he played a key role in Super Bowl V for the victorious
Colts. Hendricks was inducted in the NFL Hall of Fame in 1990.
