10. Mike Kenn, offensive tackle

One of the most consistent players in NFL history is former Michigan football great Mike Kenn who was selected 13th overall in the first round of the 1978 NFL draft by the Falcons.

Not only did Kenn appear in 251 NFL games, he started 251 games over 17 seasons with the Falcons before eventually retiring after the 1994 season.

The long-time left tackle was one of the best in the business and was a First-Team All-Pro twice in his career, in addition to five Pro Bowl selections. He was also Second-Team All-Pro a few times and undoubtedly, was one of the best offensive linemen in the league for well over a decade.

It’s disappointing that Kenn hasn’t been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame yet. The Falcons’ struggles during his career could have something to do with it, although sometimes, linemen are overlooked like Jerry Kramer of the Packers for years.
