William Fuller, John Bunting the Best to Wear No. 95 for Philadelphia Eagles
Posted Jun 11, 2020
Philadelphia Eagles linebacker John Bunting came in round 10 of the 1972 NFL Draft and stuck around for the next 11 years. Bunting started 116 games, including all 16 games at outside LB in the 1980 season that led to the Eagles' first Super Bowl appearance. Defensive end William Fuller spent only three seasons in town, but he packed a lot of punch.
