Jim Ringo (1953-1967) Speed and Intelligence

In fifteen years in the National Football League, Jim Ringo ruled the offensive line for the Green Bay Packers (1953-63) and for the Philadelphia Eagles (1964-67). He played in ten Pro-Bowls, and at age 36 in 1968 was the oldest offensive lineman ever to see action in a Pro-Bowl Game. The great Green Bay Packer dynasty of coach Vince Lombardi was anchored by offensive center, Jim Ringo. The 6'1", 235 pounds star specialized in cutting off middle linebackers on straight ahead plays, ruling the offensive line with his speed and intelligence. Lombardi best described his All-Pro team leader this way, 'The reason Ringo is the best in the league is because he's quick and he's smart. He runs the offensive line, calls the blocks and he knows what every lineman does on every play.' Jim Ringo starred at Syracuse University, was the first Packer of the decade of the '60s to be an All-Pro and was an All-Pro 3-of-the-4 seasons he played with the Philadelphia Eagles. He started in his final 182 games a league record at the time. Jim Ringo was elected to Football's Hall of Fame in 1981. footballhistorian.com - The History of Football
