Throwback Thursday: Non-Canton All-Time NFL Team

Here's an All-Time NFL team made up of players that have not been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Many of these players really should be in Canton. Some should have been there long ago.

Quarterback
Ken Anderson

Running backs
Spec Sanders
Chuck Foreman
Spec Sanders is one of the backs simply for his incredible 1947 season. 1432 yards and 18 TDs. He also passed for 1432 yards and 14 TDs. Returned a kick for another score. And he punted. An incredible, versatile season. One of the best ever. 

Receiver
Mac Speedie
Otis Taylor
Lavvie Dilweg
Lavvie Dilweg's end position of the late 1920s and early 1930s was a little different from the one played today. He was one of the best in the game then, if not the best, and should be in the Hall of Fame now. 

Tight end
Jerry Smith

Tackles
Al Wistert
Duke Slater

Guards
Bruno Banducci
Jerry Kramer

Center
Ox Emerson

Defensive ends
Gene Brito
Rich Jackson

Defensive tackles
Alex Karras
Tom Sestak

Linebackers
Robert Brazile
Tommy Nobis
Randy Gradishar
Tommy Nobis or Chuck Howley. It's a tossup.

Cornerbacks
Lester Hayes
Ken Riley

Safeties
Ken Easley
Cliff Harris 

Kicker
Morten Andersen

Punter
Tommy Davis
