28 and 81

Long overdue for 81. Under appreciated in his career and his post career, 81 didn't make noise. He did his job. Same for 28.
Number 17 summed it up best noting that critics complained that 81 "only" averaged 13 yards a catch in his career. "Last time I checked," 17 said, "that's a first down every time you touch the football."

I know, why babble in your space about a couple of rich football players? In the age of the spoiled athletes and an era of me first players, these two were grateful for what they were given and did their job. They didn't need the limelight and were confident enough in their own abilities that they didn't need or desire to be larger than life. Real life was good enough.
