Throwback: Roman Phifer

 Roman Phifer may be the best Rams player never to make the Pro Bowl. Though he was an alternate in 1995 and 1996, he never played in the game. For the first six seasons with the Rams he was a classic WILL linebacker, who excelled in pass coverage. Often, against Run and Shoot teams he was the only linebacker on the field since the Rams played dime defenses against those spread offenses.

In 1997 and 1998 he rushed the passer more under Bud Carson's guidance. He had 6.5 sacks in 1998, his final year with the Rams. His best season, however, was 1995, one in which he should have made the Pro Bowl. He had over 100 tackles, nine of them stuffs, three interceptions and defensed 12 passes, a high number for a linebacker.

Here are his career stats:

In 1999 Phifer signed as a free agent for the Jets. In 2001 he signed with the New England Patriots, where he earned three Super Bowl rings.
