No. 5 — Jim Weatherall (Tackle)

Since this is an offensive line article, Jim Weatherall Jim is an offensive tackle for purposes of this article. But he was kind of Mr. Do-It-All for the Sooners in the 1950s. He was a kicker, defensive tackle, and offensive tackle for Oklahoma. He was drafted by the Philadephia Eagles in 1952.

Weatherall made two NFL Pro Bowls in the NFL, and the Sooner legend also won a Grey-Cup in Canada with the Edmonton Eskimos, as well. He was a two-time All-American and a College Football Hall of Fame inductee. He won the Outland trophy in 1951 as the best interior lineman in college football. Throw-back legend!
