Pat Tilley played his entire career with the St. Louis Cardinals, who drafted him in the Fourth Round from Louisiana Tech in 1976.

Tilley became a starting Wide Receiver in his third year, and he embarked on a four-year run of at least 900 Receiving Yards, peaking at 1,040 in 1981 and a Pro Bowl nod in 1980.  While never a star, Tilley was a dependable second-tier WR over his career and compiled 7,005 Yards and 37 Touchdowns over 11 seasons.
