More on Joe DeLamielleure and George Saimes

Joe DeLamielleure, Class of 2003
Guard - 1973-79, 1985 Buffalo Bills, 1980-84 Cleveland Browns

The Buffalo Bills used their first round draft pick in 1973 on Joe DeLamielleure, an All-America guard from Michigan State. He quickly proved he could compete at the NFL level by earning All-Rookie honors. A cog of the Bills' famed "Electric Company" offensive line, Joe D and his linemates "turned on the juice" helping O.J. Simpson become the first player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season.

DeLamielleure was named All-Pro six straight times, 1975-1980 and was selected to six Pro Bowls. A member of the NFL's All-Decade Team of the 1970s, Joe was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2003. Joe's HOF Bio>>
