One of the Rams first blockbuster trades came in 1959 when they had no problems giving up 8 players: Ken Panfil, John Tracey, Frank Fuller, Glenn Holtzman, Art Hauser, Larry Hickman, Don Brown, and a player to be delivered in training camp (two of them were Pro Bowlers), and a Round 2 draft pick (eventually Harold Olson, who made a Pro Bowl) for what five-time Pro Bowl running back from the Chicago Cardinals?
