Rosie Grier
He was drafted by the NY Giants and won quite a few championship with them. He also went to the Pro Bowl and named All-Pro several times. In 1963 he was traded to the L.A. Rams where he was a part of the Fearsome Four. The Fearsome Four is consider one of the best defensive lines in football history. Rosie career ended because of a torn Achilles tendon. On a personal note he is also the cousin of actress Pam Grier.
Rosie started needlework and a way to relax. I would imagine that the stress of having to tackle very in shape and heavy men every day would tax the body as well as the mind. So any men out there who are ashamed to pick up a needle and thread or hook/sticks and yarn should remember Rosie Greer.
