The best athlete to wear the jersey number 62 is the offensive center for the Miami Dolphins 1972 perfect season team, Jim Langer. Langer, who played for the Fins from 1970 through 1979 was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1987. He's a six-time Pro-Bowler and a member of the NFL's 1970's All-Decade Team. One of the testaments to Jim Langer's durability was the fact that he played in 141 consecutive games over eight seasons. Langer also played two seasons with the Minnesota Vikings in 1980 and 1981.
Did you know...."The Jim Langer Award is presented to the nation's top Division II lineman each year in his honor?" (wikipedia) (photo courtesy hickoksports.com)
