The King of Consistency, Jeff Van Note. What more can you say about a Center who missed only four games in 18 years with the Atlanta Falcons? A 6x Pro Bowler, he started 230 consecutive games before losing the feature spot to Wayne Radloff (who you might remember as the Center on Georgia's 1980 Championship team led by Herschel Walker).


His career wasn't the most decorated on the list, but you won't find his level of continued success in many other players. Van Note is also a beloved commentator, having worked the broadcast booth for the Wildcats and the Falcons after he retired from professional play.
