    About time these 3 got the respect they deserve.
    I grew up watching Archie give 110% every game, scrambling for his life. It's been said over and over that you could have switched Manning with any other winning QB back in the day (Bradshaw, Staubach, Griese) and Manning would be the one with multiple Super Bowl wins. Just a shame he had to play for such atrocious teams.

    Rickey Jackson was an absolute beast in his day. In his his 13 season career, he missed only 2 games. And that was due to being injured in a motorcycle accident. He played the rest of that season with his jaw wired shut.
    Willie Roaf was probably one of the best (if not the best) tackle in the league when he was playing in the 90s. 7 Pro Bowls and 2 1st-team All-Pro Honors in his 9 years at New Orleans.
