Getting to know the players - C

Frankly there are a lot of players in All Pro who I don't know much (or anything) about. I decided to start doing some research on the players and this thread, and the ones that follow, will be a collection of that information.

Bill Curry
6'2 - 235lbs
2 time pro bowler, coached by Vince Lombardi, starting center in Super Bowl I and V.
Predicted Rating: Bronze

Dermontti Dawson
6'2 - 292lbs
7 time pro bowler, very friendly demeanor, played in 171 consecutive games, very strong upper body
Predicted Rating: Silver

Jim Otto
6'2 - 244lbs
3 time pro bowler, played in 308 consecutive games, embodied the toughness and determination of the Raiders, once caught a deflected pass and ran for 20 yards
Predicted Rating: Bronze/Silver

Dwight Stephenson
6'2 - 255lbs
5 time pro bowler, called "the best player I ever coached" by Bear Bryant, regarded by many as the best center of all-time, very explosive, team captain, terrific as both a pass blocker and a run blocker
Predicted Rating: Gold/Silver

Mick Tingelhoff
6'1 - 237lbs
6 time pro bowler, started in 4 Super Bowls, played in 240 consecutive games
Predicted Rating: Bronze

Re: Getting to know the players - C

I'm guessing the C means they're all centers.

Otto and Stephenson have got to be gold. Go and find film on these guys and you'll see why.

Re: Getting to know the players - C

Cool idea, can you list the team(s) these players played for as well?

Can't help much but GREAT thread! I think someone posted a site a while ago when someone was looking for legends for 2k5. Maybe someone else remembers what it is?

Re: Getting to know the players - C

Dermontti Dawson is arguably the best center of all-time. He was the first center to ever "pull" block. He was so fast for an O-Lineman, that is why he was a 7-time pro bowler and I think he is a Hall of Famer, but I could be mistaken. I would think he and Stephenson may be gold if anyone would. (Plus D. Dawson is a fellow UK Alum, GO CATS!!)
