    Keith Bishop ('78) - Selected by the Denver Broncos in the 1980 draft.  Played Center and Guard earning consecutive appearances in the 1986 and 87 Pro Bowls.  He was the first Broncos offensive lineman ever named to the all-star game.  Recognized by his coaches and teammates as team leader and unselfish player and was given Bob Peck Memorial Award as team's most inspirational player in 1987.   Played with the Broncos in Superbowls XXII, XXII and XXIV.  At Baylor he was starting center and elected tri-captain in 1979 and has since served as strength coach for the Bears upon retiring from the NFL.  Dallas Observer article about Bishop's involvement with the DEA.

   William "Vann" McElroy ('80) - Los Angeles/Oakland Raiders Free Safety, played on the Superbowl XVIII Championship team.  Known as an intimidating punisher with excellent range and speed at Baylor,  he was an All Southwest Conference selection in 1980 and 1981, Consensus All-American in 1981 and drafted #3 by the Raiders in 1982.  A three-time Pro Bowler, Vann led the AFC in interceptions in '83.  He has recently been a Dallas based sports agent along with Scott Casterline ('80) representing clients such as Curtis Enis of the Chicago Bears.

    Mark Adickes ('80) - Washington Redskins Offensive Lineman, played on the Superbowl XXVI Championship team.  The following is a quote from Richard Justice of the Washington Post writing on the history of the Redskins:  "I made sure to go to the same players every week for quotes, players I thought had a sense of humor, and an appreciation for the organic quality of The Bandwagon, mostly offensive linemen, who are generally the smartest guys on a football team. I'd go to them after a game and say, 'Gimme a quote for The Bandwagon.' And they would. Without Russ Grimm, Jeff Bostic, Terry Orr and Mark Adickes, among others, I couldn't have sustained The Bandwagon's prediction machine. (Adickes, by the way, went on to Harvard Medical School — to be a doctor, not a patient!)".  Mark also played for the Kansas City Chiefs and alongside Steve Young with the LA Express of the USFL.
