1.  Del Williams.  Actually Del had more left in the tank than O. J. did at the time.

2.  Fred Arbanas.  Fred was a good blocker and a pretty fair receiver.

3.  Bobby Clarke.  Bobby was a talented player, but tough to like if he wasn’t on your team.

4.  Curtis Rowe.  Curtis had some success with the Pistons but faded after going to Boston.  In college he was a solid if not flashy performer.

5.  Ed Giacomin.  Ed was an exciting goalie who was one of the first to make regular trips out of the goal crease.

6.  Ted Kwalick.  Ted was generally wasted behind Dave Casper.

7.  Jim Zorn.  It’s hard to knock the Cowboys on this one because the Cowboys were stocked at QB.  Anyway, who knows if he would have fit into the Cowboys system?  He did, however, do well with the Seahawks.

8.  Rick Leach.  Rick was a QB of note at Michigan but didn’t look to be good enough to make it in the NFL.  After playing for the Tigers he continued his MLB career with the Blue Jays, Giants and Rangers.

9.  Chet Walker and Bob Love.  Those Bulls teams were good, just not good enough to win a championship.  Their best chance was when they lost to the Warriors in seven games in the 1975 Western Conference Finals.

10.  Red Berenson.  Red was one of the first good offensive players to emerge on expansion teams after the NHL double in size.  As an NHL coach, he went from Coach of the year to coach in the unemployment line in one year.
