My Take
Willie Roaf is the sort of player I admire without reservation. A 196 cm offensive tackle who guarded the NFL trenches for thirteen seasons and earned a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, he came up the hard way from Pine Bluff, Arkansas, by way of Louisiana Tech. The nickname Nasty fits a man who would flatten anyone to protect his quarterback. To me, the real story is longevity and pride: holding down the most important yet least celebrated position at an elite level for so long. The unseen giant of the line is, in my eyes, genuinely heroic.
