John Henry Johnson
Paul Lowe
Rocky Bleier

I have Lowe as being 29 at the start of the 1965 season, so I don't have him on my list. But perhaps that's a technicality. Bleier is on the list of "First Three", so there is one more remaining RB.

I have Lowe as being 29 at the start of the 1965 season, so I don't have him on my list. But perhaps that's a technicality.

According to pro-football-reference, Lowe turned 30 in September 1966, so calling him 29 in 1965 doesn't seem like a technicality.

I thought of Dick Bass and Floyd Little, but they were both 29 too. Bleier never would've occurred to me. Then I thought of Mike Garrett, but he was only 28!
