Richiswhere: #2 Red Grange is correct. #9 Dan Fouts is correct and #15 Gary Collins is correct. On #4, you are right about the QB throwing to Hutson for one of them....but need a name.
Ken Anderson is incorrect.

Gary Collins was my next guess on #15 ... then Erich Barnes.

Here is a set of trivia, the first few deal with money matters, the last bunch with All Decade teams as named by the Pro Football Hall of Fame:
Answers:
1. With Joe Flacco having just been awarded the highest contract in NFL history state Who was the first NFL player to sign a contract for a base salary of One Million Dollars?
It was OG Bruce Matthews. Imagine that. An OG being the first million dollar player. He apparently was worth it as he is now in the HOF.
Can you say Warmack?
2. Who was the first NFL player to make $100,000.00 in a season?
Red Grange, in 1926. Pretty incredible considering that even into the 50s average NFL salaries were only around $6,000.00.
3. Which team, in the 1950s, counted "free beer" after games as part of a players compensation package?
The Baltimore Colts. When I read this it was reminiscent of the scene in 8 Men Out where Charles Comiskey promised bonuses to the White Sox if they won the World Series. There bonus was just a few bottles of champagne that the team had to share. The Colt didn't rebel, they won two NFL titles. Musta been the free beer. At least Artie Donovan would have claimed that.
4. Who were the 3 Quarterbacks named to the 1930s All Decade Team?
Arnie Herber...who was the guy throwing to Don Hutson, Dutch Clark and Cecil Isbell
5. Who were the 3 Quarterbacks named to the 1940s All Decade Team?
Sammy Baugh, Bob Waterfield, and Sid Luckman
