Dennis Harrah spent his entire 13-year career with the Los Angeles Rams after they selected him 11th overall out of Miami in the 1975 Draft. He came off the bench as a rookie, playing special teams while backing up at guard. The next year he won the starting right guard job and held that spot for the rest of his time in Los Angeles. Harrah was a large, athletic lineman who could pull in the run game and hold up in pass protection, and he quickly became a regular on an offensive line that helped the Rams win the NFC West six times.

He earned the first of his six Pro Bowl selections in 1978 and followed it with two more consecutive nods in 1979 and 1980. Those years came during a stretch when the Rams reached the playoffs repeatedly and advanced to Super Bowl XIV after the 1979 season. Harrah was part of a strong front that included other longtime starters, and the unit helped open holes for the running game while protecting the quarterbacks. He missed time with injuries in some seasons but remained the primary right guard whenever he was healthy.

After a quieter stretch in the early 1980s, Harrah returned to the Pro Bowl for three straight years from 1985 to 1987. In 1986, he earned First-Team All-Pro honors, his highest individual recognition. That second peak came as the Rams again contended in the NFC West, and Harrah still started and played at a high level into his mid-30s. He was also a team captain for six seasons, reflecting the respect he earned from teammates and coaches.

Harrah played his final season in 1987 and retired afterward. As a Ram, he appeared in 168 games and started 144. Those totals, along with the six Pro Bowl selections and the All-Pro nod, marked a long and productive career at a demanding position.

He later made the Rams’ 40th Anniversary Team. Harrah gave Los Angeles a durable and consistent right guard who helped the offense stay competitive through multiple coaching changes and roster turns over more than a decade.
