Robert James did not have a long career in the National Football League, but all six of his campaigns were spent with the Buffalo Bills. In the final three years he spent in the NFL, James was named to the Pro Bowl, two of which saw him earning a spot on the First Team All-Pro roster. A career-ending knee injury in 1975 would end him for good. Still, not a bad career for an undrafted player from tiny Fisk College.
