9. Tom Mack

Selected second overall in the 1966 NFL Draft out of the University of Michigan, Tom Mack would become the teams starting Left Guard midway through the 1966 season, and in his sophomore season he would be named to the Pro Bowl.   That year would be the first of eleven trips to the annual game honor showcasing the best players in the National Football League.  Without question, for over a decade the Los Angeles Rams never had to worry about Left Guard as Mack was clearly among the elite in that role.  He would appear in 184 straight games for L.A., the only team he ever played professionally for.

Mack entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1999.
