Card #7 of the pack break is:
This is a tough one for a Herschel fan, as the Cowboys acquired Russell Maryland through some draft maneuvering, largely as a result of the picks garnered through the Walker to Minnesota trade.
When the predicted #1 pick, Raghib "Rocket" Ismail went to the Canadian Football League, Dallas worked a deal with New England, who held the first pick, and took Maryland.
He had a non stop motor, and was a very good player for the Cowboys.
I was kind of surprised to learn that he only made one Pro Bowl, however. Herschel often gets crap for only making two, and I thought Russell Maryland had made more.
The #8 card is:
A big fullback who was a third round pick by Tampa Bay. Sorry to say I don't remember him at all.
The #9 card is:
Hardy Nickerson is shown here with the Steelers, who drafted him in round five. At the time, Pittsburgh used a 3-4 defense, and Nickerson wasn't anything special.
Then he went to Tampa Bay, where they used a 4-3 scheme, and he was a four time All Pro.
