Norm Evans arrived in Miami after one season with the Houston Oilers when the expansion Dolphins selected him in the 1966 AFL Expansion Draft. He stepped into the starting right tackle job immediately and held it for the next decade. Evans started 135 of his 138 games and became one of the most durable pieces on the offensive line.

He earned Pro Bowl selections in 1972 and 1974 while anchoring the right side during the Dolphins’ run of three straight Super Bowl appearances. Those years included the perfect 1972 season and back-to-back titles in Super Bowls VII and VIII. Evans was a steady presence in the run-heavy offense that powered those teams, starting every game in the peak championship years.

After the 1975 season, the Seattle Seahawks selected him in the expansion draft, and he played three more years there before retiring. His exit mirrored his arrival, as he became the only player in league history chosen in two different expansion drafts.

With the Dolphins, he started 135 games and collected two Super Bowl rings along with two Pro Bowl nods.
