... Delbert Martin Shofner (December 11, 1934 – March 11, 2020) was an American football wide receiver who played for (11) seasons in the NFL with the Los Angeles Rams (1957-1960) and the New York Giants (1961-1967).
.. Yelberton Abraham Tittle Jr. (9/24/1926 - 9/8/2017), better known as Y. A. Tittle, was a professional American football quarterback. He played in the National Football League (NFL) for the San Francisco 49ers, New York Giants & Baltimore Colts - after spending two seasons with the Colts in the All-America Football Conference (AAFC). Known for his competitiveness, leadership & striking profile, Tittle was the centerpiece of several prolific offenses throughout his (17) year pro career (1948-1964). With the Colts, Tittle was named AAFC Rookie of the Year (1948), after leading them to the AAFC playoffs. After consecutive one-win seasons, the Colts franchise folded - which allowed Tittle to be drafted in the NFL, by the 49ers (1951) . Through (10) seasons in San Francisco, he was invited to (4) Pro Bowls - led the league in touchdown passes (1955), and was named the NFL Player of the Year (1957). Tittle was part of the 49ers' famed "Million Dollar Backfield" - was the first pro football player featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and is credited with having coined "alley-oop" as a sports term. Considered washed-up, the 34-year-old Tittle was traded to the Giants following the (1960) season. Over the next (4) seasons, he won several individual awards, twice set the league single-season record for touchdown passes, and led the Giants to (3) straight NFL championship games. Although Tittle was never able to deliver a championship to the team, his time in New York is regarded among the glory years of the franchise. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame (1971).
