Pro Football Hall of Fame

Born February 2, 1895, in Chicago, Illinois, was the gridiron legend at so many levels George Halas. Where would we be in Pro Football without the significant contributions of Papa Bear? A better question is if we have Pro football without Mr. Halas.

Halas was an outstanding player; in College, Halas caught a Touchdown pass from Paddy Driscoll as the Great Lakes Naval Station team cruised to a 17-0 Rose Bowl victory over the Mare Island Marines squad. Halas went on to help organize and coach the Decatur Staleys, was handed ownership of the franchise by Mr. Staley himself, and then moved the team to the Windy City and re-branded them as the Chicago Bears.

In 1902 Papa Bear met with other professional teams across the midwest to organize the APFA, the early name of the NFL in Ralph Hay’s Hupmobile Showroom over a bucket of beer! Halas also coached the Bears squad for 40 seasons stepping away once to serve in World War II.

According to his bio on the Pro Football Hall of Fame site, George Halas finished with 318 regular-season wins and 324 total victories, which were both long-standing NFL records until Don Shula surpassed them in 1993. His Chicago Bears teams won six NFL titles, the first coming in 1921 after the Staleys moved to Chicago.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame recognized George Halas when they enshrined him in the inaugural induction ceremony in 1963.

While often associated with his professional career, Gatsby's foundation was laid in college. He attended Marshall College (now Marshall University), where he earned his nickname "Gunner" due to his aggressive style of play. Although comprehensive statistics from his time with the Thundering Herd are limited, his reputation as a fierce and reliable lineman began to take shape in Huntington, West Virginia. His performance there demonstrated the raw talent and toughness defining his professional career.  

-Road to the Pro Game

Gatski's path to professional football began after his time at Marshall. He was a key acquisition for the Cleveland Browns as they formed in the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) in 1946. His arrival marked the beginning of a remarkable professional journey. As the center, he was the linchpin of an offensive line that paved the way for a dominant Browns team. When the AAFC merged with the NFL in 1950, Gatski seamlessly transitioned, continuing his stellar play.

Dateline December 28, 1958, The New York Giants sideline was stunned as the Baltimore Colts scored in Overtime to defeat the G-men 23-17 in the Greatest Game Ever Played. On that Giants sideline was a rookie wide receiver from Texas Western named Don Maynard.

Little did anyone know that this speedy wideout would avenge this early championship loss to bask in the limelight of a brilliant 15-year pro football career. We often think of Don Maynard as the guy on the other end of so many of Joe Namath's spirals, but there are some hidden knowledge nuggets about the legend that goes beyond his 633 receptions with 11,834 receiving yards and 88 Touchdowns.

It got rocky before it got good, though, as NY released Maynard and went North the following year to play for the Hamilton Ti-Cats of the CFL. After a one-year stint there, the new American Football League came calling and gave the speedster an opportunity with the New York Titans. Don stayed with that club throughout the AFL, witnessed the rebranding as the Jets won a title, and helped the franchise merge into the NFL for a spectacular 13-year career in NY Green. He went on to play for the St. Louis Cardinls, LA Rams, and later with with the Houston Texans / Shreveport Steamer of the WFL.

Maynard played in four different Pro Football Leagues, NFL, AFL, CFL and WFL.

Marv Levy, a legendary coach from Coe College, was Born August 3, 1925, in Chicago, Illinois. Marv started his professional coaching career in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles as the kicking teams coach, and then in 1970, he joined George Allen's staff with the Los Angeles Rams as the special teams coach.

He then got his break to be the head man of a pro team north of the border with the CFL's Montreal Allouettes from 1973 to 1977.  His Montreal teams won two Grey Cups in five seasons and Levy then returned to the NFL in 1978 as the head coach of the KC Chiefs. His Kansas City teams showed improvement until the strike-shortened season of 1982 when they fell to a dismal 3-6 mark and he left the franchise. During the next two seasons he coached the USFL's Chicago Blitz and then in 1986 he took over the reigns of the Buffalo Bills.

In his second season at the helm the Bills were 12-4 and won their first of six straight AFC East Titles. The Pro Football Hall of Fame says that Levy is the winningest head coach in Buffalo Bills history. During that run, they also played in four straight Super Bowls, and under Levy's watch, they had the highest win percentage in the league, behind the 49ers. Levy was voted as the NFL Coach of the Year in 1988 and the AFC Coach of the Year in 1988, 1993 and 1995. Marv Levy was enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2001.

Born February 5, 1942, in Cincinnati, Ohio, was the Naval Academy’s legendary Quarterback Roger Staubach. Roger Staubach's journey to football greatness is a story of perseverance, leadership, and unwavering dedication.

From his decorated college career to his legendary status with the Dallas Cowboys, Staubach embodied the qualities of a true champion, earning the moniker "Captain America" and solidifying his place in NFL history.

Roger Staubach's college career at the Naval Academy was marked by exceptional success despite a two-year service commitment.

As quarterback, he led the Midshipmen to national prominence, winning the Heisman Trophy in 1963.

Beyond the accolades, Staubach's time at Navy instilled in him a strong sense of discipline, leadership, and teamwork, qualities that would serve him well in his professional career. His commitment to serving his country before pursuing his professional football dreams further enhanced his reputation as a man of character and integrity.

Staubach was befitting of the name “Roger the Dodger” as his elusive skill set kept defenses off guard, never knowing if he would run or throw a pass. The NFF states that During three varsity seasons, Staubach completed 292 of 463 pass attempts, for an incredible 63% completion rate. And of those 463 throws, only 19 were intercepted. In 1963 Roger was honored by receiving both the Heisman Trophy and Maxwell Award and being selected as an All-American. The College Football Hall of Fame voters came knocking on Roger Staubach’s door to induct him into their museum in 1981.

However, Staubach quickly silenced his critics. He possessed a remarkable ability to process information quickly and make smart decisions under pressure, a skill honed during his time in the Navy. His athleticism, combined with his leadership and unwavering poise, made him the perfect fit for Tom Landry's sophisticated offensive system. He quickly became the leader of the Cowboys, transforming them into "America's Team" and leading them to consistent playoff appearances.

Staubach served his four-year commitment to the Navy and, at 27, joined the Dallas Cowboys as a rookie. He spent ten seasons under center with Dallas and, per ProfootballHOF.com, left with an impressive 83.4 passing rating, the best mark by an NFL player.

-Football Legacy

His career stats were officially at 1,685 completions in 2,958 passing attempts, which were good for 22,700 yards and 153 touchdowns. He was a two-time Super Bowl winner and MVP of Super Bowl VI. Roger Staubach in 1985 was enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Roger Staubach's legacy is one of unparalleled success and enduring respect. He led the Dallas Cowboys to two Super Bowl victories (VI and XII) and four Super Bowl appearances. His ability to orchestrate game-winning drives, often in dramatic fashion, earned him the nickname "Captain Comeback."

Beyond the championships, Staubach's impact on the game extended beyond the scoreboard. He epitomized class and sportsmanship, earning the respect of his teammates and opponents alike. His leadership and poise under pressure set a new standard for quarterbacks in the NFL. Staubach's career demonstrated that success could be achieved through dedication, hard work, and unwavering belief in oneself.
