The Greatest Athlete To Wear #70 is Sam Huff.

Other notable #70’s. Jim Marshall the Iron Man of the Minnesota Vikings played 282 consecutive games. He is best known for running the wrong way with a fumble. I remember him best for his no-show performances in Super Bowls. He was a celebrated player for playing all those games in a row but he only made 2 Pro Bowls. He was the 3rd best player on his line behind Alan Page and Carl Eller. A good but not great player. “Fatso” Art Donovan is a Hall of Fame defensive lineman from the Colts in the 1950’s. Ernie Stautner was a great player for the Steelers before they were “The Steelers” He is in the Hall of Fame. Rayfield Wright was an outstanding offensive tackle for the Cowboys of the 1970’s.

The nod for the greatest #70 goes to Sam Huff. Sam Huff was one of the most celebrated defensive players of the late 1050’s-1960’s for the New York Giants and Washington Redskins. He was a 5ive time All-Pro and a member of the All-1950’s NFL Team. He was the subject of a 1960 CBS Special “The Violent World Of Sam Huff” where Huff was wired for sound for a practice and an exhibition game. Cutting edge stuff in 1960. Sam Huff is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
