November 1, 1943 – Cleveland, Ohio – Tom Mack, the 1965 All-American guard out of the University of Michigan, was born. Tom was the Los Angeles Rams’ 1st-round pick in 1966, and boy, what a great pick he was.
Mack played 13 seasons for the Rams, and in that span, he went to 11 Pro Bowls, never missed a game (his streak was 184 straight), and was an All-NFL selection 5 times! Pretty impressive numbers for anyone, but especially someone playing offensive line! Tom Mack was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame at the 1999 enshrinement ceremonies.
