    There were three guys with the last name "Selmon" on that team?

    Anyone hear anything about LeRoy Cook lately? Bear Bryant called him his best defensive player of all time. Drafted
    by Dallas in '75 , hurt his back and never surfaced again.

    just going to point out something on Selmon.

    He went by Leroy in college and then Lee Roy in the pros. The "story" was his actual name was Lee Roy, but when he started first grade a teacher told him that was the wrong spelling and told him it was Leroy...he just rolled with it for the next decade.
