For a few years, he was not only the best guard in the NFL, but the most important. Kenn is one of the NFL's all-time great players and leaders, and his impact ranges far beyond his playing career.

Butler has never even been a Hall of Fame semifinalist, and it's not going to happen for him soon. He headed to Washington and moved from the weak to strong side. Randy Gradishar.

There may be such a thing as too much blitzing, after all. But he didn't play for the legendary 49ers teams. In Super Bowl IX, Edwards killed a drive and darn near Vikings intended receiver John Gilliam on a hellacious hit near the goal line. Super Bowl championships: Four (1966, 1967, 1972, 1973).
