Bob Gain is the standard for excellence when it comes to UK linemen. An Outland award-winner, the 3x All-SEC stud was a showstopper for the Cleveland Browns for 12 years. Selected 5th overall in 1950 by the Green Bay Packers, Gain never played a down in Wisconsin. He instead played a year in Canada before returning to the U.S. and suiting up for Cleveland.
His pro career was as good as any in the game, as he snagged three championships and nearly every honor you can think of before hanging up his shoes in 1964. All that combined, it's impossible to overlook Gain as one of the all-time great Football 'Cats.
