Isiah Robertson was the 10th overall pick from Southern University in 1971, and it didn't take long for him to prove to the Los Angeles Rams that he was the right choice as he would go on to win the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year. The Linebacker would go on to be one of the best defensive players the Rams ever had as he would be chosen for six Pro Bowls and two First Team All-Pros as a Ram, and he was an integral part of L.A.'s multiple playoff appearances in the 70s.
Robertson would later provide a leadership role for the Buffalo Bills and would retire with 25 Interceptions, a very high number for a Linebacker.
