As much as Stram may be best recognized as the stocky, well-dressed motivator roaming the sidelines for the Kansas City Chiefs in the late 1960s and early '70s, his best work often was done behind the scenes.

He was seen as a player who could have a huge impact in the NFL but never lived up to expectations. Dorsey may be best suited as a 4-3 defensive tackle and could have been miscast as a 3-4 defensive end with the Chiefs.
