[The-Hammer]

I select DT Vince Wilfork



and DT Dan Hampton



Dan Hampton was a first-round draft pick of the Chicago Bears in 1979 following an All-America season at the University of Arkansas. An outstanding and versatile defensive lineman, Hampton would play 12 seasons with the Bears. Six times he earned first- or second-team All-Pro honors as either a defensive tackle or defensive end.

Nicknamed “Danimal” for his ferocious style of play, Hampton persevered through 10 knee surgeries and numerous other injuries as he became recognized as one of the game’s most dedicated players. Hampton was an impact player even as a rookie. In his first season he was credited with 70 tackles, 48 of which were solo efforts, as well as two fumble recoveries, three passes defensed, and two sacks.

In 1980, he led the team in sacks with 11.5 and his 73 tackles were the most by a Bears lineman. His play earned him the first of his four Pro Bowl invitations. In the nine-game strike-shortened 1982 season, Hampton, playing right end, led the Bears with 9 sacks and was second with 71 tackles. One major publication selected him as the NFC Defensive Most Valuable Player and he was also named to his first All-Pro team. Injuries slowed the promising lineman in 1983, but he still managed to record five sacks in just 11 games.

The following season, although he missed one game with a hyper-extended knee, his 11.5 sacks equaled his career best. It’s for the 1985 season, however, that Dan and the Bears’ defense is best remembered. That year, the stingy Chicago defense allowed just 198 points and shut out both opponents in the NFC playoffs. The Bears went on to destroy the New England Patriots 46-10 in Super Bowl XX, allowing just 123 total yards and sacking Patriot quarterbacks seven times. For his part, the versatile Hampton spent the first half of the 1985 season playing right tackle before moving over to the left defensive end spot for the remainder of the season. His aggressive play caused opposing offenses to assign extra blockers ultimately freeing up other Bears defenders to make plays. Even with the added attention, Dan still managed to record 6.5 sacks, force two fumbles, recover three fumbles, and defense four passes.

Although 1985 may have been a high point in his career, Hampton continued to play at a high level until finally retiring in 1990, becoming just the second Bear to play in three different decades.

I select RB Earl Campbell and C Jim Otto.

[J E T S JETS]

I will select LT Ron Mix



"He was also a student of the game. On passing plays, he would pop out at his opponent at the moment of the center snap, hit him, drive him back and continue to attack until the pass was in the air. On running plays, his uncanny balance enabled him to take out the defensive end with a chopping block and proceed downfield where he could wipe out the cornerback."


-Pro Football Hall of Fame

Nicknamed "The Intellectual Assassin, Mix was flagged for only 2 penalties in his entire 10-year career... 2 (both holds). 8-time AFL All-Star, very strong, dedicated, and fast athlete. Mix was so athletic that he had his choice to go pro in football or baseball - and he was a very good sprinter in track. Imagine that - an offensive lineman running as fast as the linebackers. Wow. Mix and Forrest Gregg give me an incredibly intelligent and durable offensive tackle duo, and an anchor to my offensive line.

[J E T S JETS]

I will select who I personally consider the best center of all-time, and the most durable player in the history of the game - C Mel Hein



Played 60 minutes a game at center and linebacker, missing only one play in his entire NFL career for "hasty repairs" on his broken nose. Was an All-NFL player 8 years in a row, and won the MVP award in 1938. Called a "Flawless ball-snapper, powerful blocker."
