Whatever happened to: Mike Kenn

What he did: Mike Kenn may never make it into the Pro Football Hall of Fame but it will not be because he wasn’t one of the top offensive linemen of his time.

Kenn, who wore No. 78 and played all 17 years with the Falcons, was once praised by a future Hall of Fame head coach. “I’ve never seen any offensive tackle with his agility and quickness.’’ Those words came from the late and great coach Bill Walsh, whose 49ers certainly had their fill of Kenn and his ability to protect the quarterback from some of the best rushers in NFL.
