When bartender/substitute teacher Vince Papale worked out in front of then Philadelphia Eagles coach Dick Vermiel, few if any people thought anything would come of it.   However, after impressing Vermeil with his speed and toughness, Papale was given a spot on the team, becoming the oldest rookie in the NFL (outside of kickers) to have not played in college.

A fan favorite due to his blue collar upbringing and improbable jump to the NFL, Papale would play with the Eagles for three seasons, mainly as a special teamer, and also as a wide receiver.  His incredible story was made into a movie in 2006, helping to forever cement Papale in Philadelphia football lure.
