Lance Moore
Lance Moore had a successful career in the NFL, playing from 2006 to 2015. Moore is best known for his tenure with the New Orleans Saints, where he became a key contributor to the team’s potent offense and helped the Saints capture their first Super Bowl title in Super Bowl XLIV.
Throughout his 8 seasons with the Saints, he registered 4281 receiving yards and 38 touchdowns. His best season came in 2012 when he went over 1000 yards receiving (1041) and 6 touchdowns.
Moore also spent time with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions. He finished his 10-season NFL career with 389 receptions for 4816 yards and 44 touchdowns.
Emmanuel Sanders
Emmanuel Sanders was a wide receiver known for his route-running precision and reliable hands. He was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft after an impressive college career at SMU.
Sanders played in Pittsburgh for four seasons (2010-2013) before signing with the Denver Broncos, where he enjoyed five productive seasons (2014-2019) and won Super Bowl 50. Sanders later had stints with the 49ers, Saints and Bills.

John Kuhn
John Kuhn is a fullback who had a noteworthy career in the NFL, playing primarily with the Green Bay Packers. After playing college football for Shippensburg University, Kuhn began his professional career with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2005. However, he is best known for his tenure with the Packers from 2007 to 2015.
In Green Bay, Kuhn became a key part of the team’s offensive unit, mostly for his blocking, but he also contributed as a short-yardage runner and receiver out of the backfield. A fan favorite, his last name would often be chanted by the crowd after successful plays.
Kuhn was part of the Packers team that won Super Bowl XLV over the Steelers. Following his time in Green Bay, Kuhn played one season with the New Orleans Saints in 2016 before retiring. Kuhn was named to the Pro Bowl three times and was twice designated as an All-Pro.

Wayne Gandy
Wayne Gandy was selected by the Los Angeles Rams in the first round of the 1994 NFL Draft with the 15th overall pick. He played college football at Auburn University, where he established himself as one of the top offensive tackles in the nation.
Gandy’s NFL career spanned 15 seasons, during which he played for the Rams, Pittsburgh Steelers, New Orleans Saints, and Atlanta Falcons. He started most of the games he played in (205 out of 219) and was known as one of the league’s most durable and dependable offensive linemen.
His leadership on the offensive line helped anchor several successful offenses, and his consistent play was a key factor for his teams over the years.
