Born November 11, 1961, in Petersburg, Virginia, Ricky Hunley, the linebacker from the University of Arizona, was a four-year letter winner at Arizona as, according to the NFF, he turned down a lucrative minor league baseball contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates to attend school and play football. Ricky Hunley made a wise choice as he became a consensus All-American linebacker in 1982 and a unanimous All-American in 1983. The College Football Hall of Fame found a place for Ricky Hunley in 1997. After school, Hunley played in the NFL League for seven seasons with the Denver Broncos, Phoenix Cardinals, and the Los Angeles Raiders. He also served as executive vice president of the NFL Players Association and coached some in the college ranks.
