No. 3: Forrest Blue

Forrest Blue was drafted No. 15 by the San Francisco 49ers — unusually high for an interior offensive lineman. However, the center more than proved his worth in his career.

Blue ended up with four Pro Bowl and two first-team All-Pro selections, marking his high distinction with the team.

He was inducted into the Tampa Bay Hall of Fame and the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, displaying how good of a center he was.
