Chris Long is the son of Hall of Fame defensive end Howie Long. In spite of the fact that he began he career in his father’s shadow, he has more than carved out a strong career for himself. While he has never been decorated with individual on-field accolades, he has carved out a long and successful career that is heading into its 12th season. You don’t stick around that long without making people want you around.
Originally the second-overall pick by the St. Louis Rams all the way back in 2008, Long spent his first eight years there before he signed a one-year deal with the New England Patriots.
