He was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1975, a six-time All-Pro, and a five-time Pro Bowler. After his playing career, he opened two locations of the Mel Blount Youth Home, one in his native Georgia and the other in Claysville, Pa. He was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1989.
