London Fletcher didn’t make his first Pro Bowl until he was 34 years old.
That was his third year with the Washington Redskins. Already a seasoned pro when he came to DC, Fletcher had been a Pro Bowl alternate a couple of times after building a reputation as an undersized (5’10”) but excellent middle linebacker during stops with the Rams and Bills. After winning a title with St. Louis, he moved on to Buffalo for several years before signing with the Redskins prior to the 2007 season.
He made an instant impact, helping the Redskins to the playoffs during a tumultuous year that saw the team endure the unimaginable heartache of the death of Sean Taylor.
