Anthony Munoz of the Cincinnati Bengals was considered by many to be the premier tackle during his 13-seasons of play - he started 164 of 168 games from 1980-1990. An all-around athlete, he even caught seven passes and scored four touchdowns on tackle-eligible plays. His stalwart play was the key to the success that propelled Cincinnati to three AFC Central Division titles and two AFC championships (1981 and 1988). Munoz was elected to 11 consecutive Pro Bowls and was named All-Pro 11 straight times from 1981 through 1991.

Nine times during his 16-season career with the Redskins, New York Jets, and Philadelphia Eagles, he exceeded 50 catches in a season and five times gained more than 1,000 receiving yards. He also set NFL records for most catches in a season (106), and most consecutive games with at least one reception (164). He finished his career with 940 receptions. (Photo by Mike Powell/Allsport)

Atlanta Falcons tackle Bill Fralic (70) blocks New Orleans Saints defensive end Bruce Clark. Fralic was the most unstoppable offensive tackle in college football at Pittsburgh. The term "pancake block" was invented to describe the way he would leave opponents flat on their backs. And when the Falcons made Fralic the second overall pick of the 1985 draft, he carried that same dominating style into the NFL, earning four Pro Bowl selections and becoming one of the best linemen of the 1980's.

Defensive tackle Dan Hampton #99 of the Chicago Bears rushes after quarterback Marc Wilson #6 of the Los Angeles Raiders. Hampton played 12 seasons with the Bears, earning six first- or second-team All-Pro honors as either a defensive tackle or defensive end. It's for the 1985 season, however, that Dan and the Bears' defense is best remembered. That year, the stingy Chicago defense allowed just 198 points and shut out both opponents in the NFC playoffs. The Bears went on to destroy the New England Patriots 46-10 in Super Bowl XX, allowing just 123 total yards and sacking Patriot quarterbacks seven times. (Photo by Stephen Dunn/Getty Images)

In 1981, Deron Cherry was signed by the Kansas City Chiefs as a free agent punter, but was released in the final cutdown. Deron rejoined the club in late September as a safety, and made his first interception in October against the Raiders. Regarded as one of the finest free safeties to have ever played the game, he was a six-time Pro Bowl selection from 83-88, starting in five of them in his 11 years with the Chiefs. Cherry's 15 career fumble recoveries place him in a three-way tie for the Chiefs record. He ranks third on the Chiefs list of most interceptions, and is only the 26th player in the history of the NFL to reach the 50 interception plateau. (Photo by NFL/NFL)

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Billy "White Shoes" Johnson had a successful, but quiet career at D-III Widener College.

As a kick returner, Johnson returned 5 punts for touchdowns, along with 2 kickoffs, in his first 4 years with the Oilers, and added 12 more TDs on offense. He was selected to the Pro Bowl as a kick returner in 1975, and was named MVP of the game. (Photo by Al Messerschmidt/NFL)

Hall of Fame center Dwight Stephenson of the Miami Dolphins looks to block during the Dolphins 31-10 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in the 1984 AFC Divisional Playoff Game.

Washington Redskins guard Russ Grimm (68) became a steadying force on the Redskins vaunted offensive line of the 1980s that earned the nickname "The Hogs." By his second season in the NFL, Grimm gained much notice from around the league. Teaming with tackle Joe Jacoby, the pair formed what was perhaps the most punishing side of an offensive line in football at the time. With Grimm utilizing his speed and strength, the Redskins rode the success of a dominating running attack all the way to a victory in Super Bowl XVII. (Photo by Manny Rubio/NFL)

Pro Football Hall of Fame and Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Randy White (54) didn't develop into a super-star until his third season, when he became the starting right defensive tackle on a permanent basis. For the remainder of his 14- season, 209-game NFL career, White was an outstanding anchor of the Cowboys' excellent defensive line. White capped his first season as a regular by being named as the co-Most Valuable Player in the Cowboys' 27-10 win over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XII. That year he began a string of nine straight seasons running through 1985 as an All-Pro selection. He also was named to nine straight Pro Bowls during that span. (Photo by Al Messerschmidt/NFL)

He also played for the Washington Redskins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Houston/Tennessee Oilers and San Francisco 49ers, where he wrapped up his career with a final season in 1999. He led the AFC in 1991 with an average punt of 45.7 yards, and he still holds the Pro Bowl record with 10 punts in the 1985 game. (Photo by Andy Hayt/Getty Images)

Defensive end Reggie White of the Philadelphia Eagles, who spent two seasons in the ill-fated United States Football League, made a memorable NFL debut with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4 of the 1985 season. He collected 2.5 sacks, and deflected a pass that was intercepted and returned for touchdown. Despite the fact he played in only 13 games that season, White tied for the team lead with 13 sacks and was named the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year. The following season, White picked up 18 more sacks to earn his first of 13 straight Pro Bowl trips. (Photo by John Sandhaus/NFL)
