Claude Humphrey
After a brief retirement, Claude Humphrey was traded to The Philadelphia Eagles for two fourth round draft picks. And in 1980, his 14.5 sacks would help lead The Eagles to The Super Bowl.
A six-time Pro Bowler & five times 1st Team All Pro, Humphrey is credited with a total of 122 sacks over his career (a statistic not tracked until after he had retired; so he may actually have more). He would go on to be inducted into The NFL Hall Of Fame in 2014. He is also in The Tennessee Hall Of Fame, Georgia Hall Of Fame, and Atlanta Falcons Ring Of Honor.
