There must be something in the water in Ohio because the Buckeye State is one of those territories has a ton of quality NFL athletes born within its borders. From Bob Brown to Orlando Pace to Cris Carter to Charles Woodson and so many more, there's almost no wrong answer when it comes to crowning an NFL king of Ohio. However, we've come to terms with giving that accolade to none other than Hall of Fame middle linebacker, Jack Lambert. Lambert played his collegiate football at Kent State and was selected 46th overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second round of the 1974 NFL Draft.
All of those teams that passed on Lambert regretted as the toothless linebacker wreaked havoc on the entire NFL for the entire eleven seasons that he played. While playing his entire career with the Steelers, Lambert collected four rings (Super Bowls IX, X, XIII, XIV), was invited to nine Pro Bowls, selected as First-Team All-Pro six times, and selected as Defensive Player of the Year in 1976. Lambert made sure every offensive line, quarterback, and offensive coordinator acknowledged his presence on the field, every single down he played.
