Even after spending nearly six full decades in the NFL, Dick LeBeau still misses his days playing football at Ohio State.
While LeBeau had a successful career as a Buckeye, playing cornerback and halfback for Ohio State from 1956-58 and winning a national championship with the Buckeyes in 1957, he’s best known for what he went on to accomplish in the league. As a player, LeBeau played an NFL-record 171 consecutive games at cornerback and recorded 62 interceptions over 14 seasons, ultimately leading to his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010. LeBeau then went on to coach in the NFL for 45 years, highlighted by a stint as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive coordinator in which he helped them lead them to two Super Bowl championships.
