There is a proud tradition within the Skins organization. Besides picking up the big named has beens; Archelatta, Tayler, Lloyd, Patton, etc. we have the proud tradition of picking up the blue color player. This has been going on since the 1980's. Oh we have a few big names that should top the 100 list in any position but most were with the team in the 1970's or earlier.

Now not to start an arguement, I'll agree there are some that should be in due to their work ethic but usually that's not what make a name for them. Look at Irvin, T.O., McNabb, R.Moss, Riggins, these excentric individuals stand out and that's what people remember. Ocho Cinco with all his issues, Eli getting picked up by the Chargers and getting traded to the Giants, That's what people remember and if they are any good even somewhat, as in Irvin's case, they are elevated.

Hardly ever are the Art Monks, Darrel Greens, S.Moss, J.Jansen, or any of the others. Portis is excentric so he should have made it. Cooley's becoming excentric. S.Taylor should have made it.
