In terms of Centers, there are few Professional Football players who can say that they are as successful as Bart Oates.
After being undrafted at BYU in 1983, Oates would join the Philadelphia Stars of the USFL, and he would win championships with them in 1984 and 1985. When the USFL folded, he signed with the New York Giants, where he would become their starting Center, and was named an All-Rookie. The following season would see Oates win another title, this time a Super Bowl Ring when the Giants won Super Bowl XXI. In 1990, Oates and the Giants won another Super Bowl (XXV), but for the first time, he was named to the Pro Bowl.

One of the longest tenured players in NFL history (22 seasons), his career in that league began after going undrafted in 1983 and playing all three seasons of the USFL. Landeta was chosen for the All-USFL Team, and he would join the New York Giants in 1985, where he would win two Super Bowls, and was named to two Pro Bowls, and three First Team All-Pro rosters. After the Giants, he would play for the Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles, and is one of the few players to be named to two All-Decade Teams (80s & 90s).

Ottis Anderson had one of the best rookie seasons ever for a Running Back gaining over 1,600 yards on the ground. Too bad he did for a bad St. Louis Cardinals team that was barely on the National radar.
Anderson would prove he was not a one-season wonder. Although he would never again equal his rookie numbers he still posted decent ground numbers and was the highlight of a poor Cardinals team. As it does in football, injuries piled up and he lost his explosiveness. Anderson was however reinvented as a short-yardage specialist by the New York Giants and he again accumulated impressive tallies. He was a natural leader and as he rarely fumbled he was a strong key to the Giants ability to control the ball for extended periods of time. As a Giant, Ottis Anderson twice won the Super Bowl, capped with an MVP performance in Super Bowl XXV.
