Guard
No. 68
Michigan State
"One half of the Bobbsie Guards. Joe D. and Reggie McKenzie have played 103 and 117 consecutive games respectively. Joe DeLamielleure, otherwise known as Frenchy Joe or Pierre the Pull-Out Guard, was an All-Pro pick and Pro Bowl selection for the fifth straight year. He was a first-round pick back in 1973 and became an instant starter the year The Juice ran for 2,003 yards.
Despite his bulky look, Joe D. won the NFL racquetball championship. He works out every day in the off-season and is one of the strongest Bills. Born in Detroit, he's not scared to walk Motown's streets at night.
He attended Michigan State and majored in criminal justice. When Joe D. blocks you, there is no justice. It's au revoir."
-Dave Newhouse, The Complete Handbook of Pro Football, 1980 Edition
"In seven seasons with the Bills, Joe has earned recognition as one of the truly outstanding linemen in NFL history. He was a starter for the AFC squad in the Pro Bowl for the fourth consecutive season last January and was also a consensus All-Pro choice for the fifth straight year. Joe ranks as one of the most honored linemen in Bills history."
