Hall of Famer: Willie Roaf
In his thirteen year career, tackle Willie Roaf missed the Pro Bowl only twice. His rookie season and an injury shortened 2001 season. The only thing that bothered me about his career was that he spent part of it with the Kansas City Chiefs. To me, Willie Roaf was always a New Orleans Saints football player. He was a fantastic football player. Teams are always looking for that left tackle that you plug into the lineup and not have to worry about that side of the field for the next decade. The Saints found that kind of tackle in the 1993 NFL Draft. Willie Roaf played his position exactly as it was always meant to be played. An efficient, excellent blocking technician.
