Darrell Green played for 20 years with the same team, and I read that he is the only player in all of pro sports to do so (or he may be tied with someone older). In addition, he was the top, or at least one of the top players at his position for the majority of his tenure. And even in his last few years, he still could have been a starter on most teams. He was a shut-down corner before that term was invented.
He will be a first ballot HoF inductee without a doubt.

You said, "darrell green is probably faster and in better shape then any body on this forum." I beg to differ with you.

I'm perfectly round and round is a shape so I'm in perfect shape and Darrell Green can't top that. So there!

maybe in pro football, but not all of pro sports...Brooks Robinson played for the O's for 23 seasons. Cal Ripken also played for the O's for over 20 years...among others. i know it's baseball and all, but that is still impressive, all with one team.
