287. Rich Saul
Rich Saul did not accomplish that much in the first half of his career, where he bounced around the Rams O-Line for the first five years, but there was definite value in the former Michigan State Spartan.  Saul would be named the starting Center in 1975, and from 1976 to 1981, he would be named to the Pro Bowl and was one clearly among the upper echelon of Centers for the last half of the 70s.  The Rams would go to Super Bowl XIV, and he was part of the reason they were successful during that time frame.
