This began his most successful individual run, as he was chosen for that honor in 1991 and 1993. He would sign with the San Francisco 49ers for 1994, where he played two seasons and went to his fourth and fifth Pro Bowl. He would win another title when he assisted the Niners in their win in Super Bowl XXIX.
Five pro rings are pretty damned good, don’t you think?

In terms of Centers, there are few Professional Football players who can say that they are as successful as Bart Oates.
After being undrafted at BYU in 1983, Oates would join the Philadelphia Stars of the USFL, and he would win championships with them in 1984 and 1985. When the USFL folded, he signed with the New York Giants, where he would become their starting Center, and was named an All-Rookie. The following season would see Oates win another title, this time a Super Bowl Ring when the Giants won Super Bowl XXI. In 1990, Oates and the Giants won another Super Bowl (XXV), but for the first time, he was named to the Pro Bowl.
