Timeline
Joseph Michael DeLamielleure (born March 16, 1951) is an American former professional football player who was a guard in the National Football League (NFL).
He was an All-American playing college football for the Michigan State Spartans.
He was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the first round of the 1973 NFL draft.
He won All-Rookie Honors, after finding out a physical condition with his irregular heartbeat was not serious.
In 1973 the Buffalo Bills rushing offense led the NFL in yards, yards per carry, as well as rushing touchdowns.
He is also one of the first living NFL players to be tested and diagnosed with CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy).
DeLamielleure was perhaps the central figure in the "Electric Company," the Bills' offensive line that paved the way for O. J. Simpson to rush for 2,003 yards in 1973, the first player ever to break that barrier, and the only player ever to do so in a 14-game schedule.
The league-leading rushing yardage mark of 3,088 yards is still the 14-game record.
In 1973, DeLamielleure was Co-Offensive Linemen of the Year as awarded by the 1000 Yard Rusher Club, Columbus, Ohio.
The following year, 1974, the Bills improved to 9–5 and made the playoffs.
DeLamielleure was voted second-team All-Pro.
In 1975 the Bills displayed one of the most potent offenses of the decade.
They led the NFL in eleven categories, including total offense, rushing, rushing average, points, touchdowns and touchdown passes en route to an 8–6 record.
The offensive line also allowed the fewest sacks in AFC.
Simpson, behind the "Electric Company" achieved his second "quadruple crown" in three years and also had the longest run in NFL.
Individually, DeLamielleure was named First-team All-Pro.
DeLamielleure was named an All-Pro six times and was named to the Pro Bowl six times.
In 1975, DeLamielleure was named by the NFLPA as Offensive Lineman of the Year.
In 1977, DeLamielleure received the Forrest Gregg Award as the NFL's Top Offensive Lineman for that season.
Only the 1978 New England Patriots have bettered that mark and did it in 16 games.
Individually, Simpson led the NFL in all four major rushing categories.
Joe also had the longest run in the NFL.
The 2,003 yards Simpson rushed for is still the 14 game record (Eric Dickerson, Barry Sanders, Terrell Davis, Jamal Lewis, Chris Johnson, Adrian Peterson and Derrick Henry achieved their marks in 16 games).
DeLamielleure was also on the kickoff return team that blocked for Wallace Francis, who led NFL with two return touchdowns.
DeLamielleure played on the wedge of the kickoff return team his entire career in Buffalo.
In 1979, DeLamielleure was named to the NFL's All-Decade Team.
In 1980, DeLamielleure was traded to the Cleveland Browns where he blocked for his 2nd NFL MVP, Brian Sipe.
DeLamielleure became the first player ever to block for a 2,000-yard rusher and a 4,000-yard passer.
Also, the 1980 Browns offensive line led NFL in allowing the lowest sacks percentage and blocked for a 1,000-yard runner (Mike Pruitt).
During his five years with Cleveland, he played every game.
He played his final year in the NFL, 1985, back with the Buffalo Bills.
In 1992, DeLamielleure had a short stint with the Charlotte Rage of the Arena Football League.
DeLamielleure was named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2003 and was inducted to the East-West Shrine Game Hall of Fame in 2007.
DeLamielleure was a key advocate for retired players of the league in need of financial assistance.
As such, he was often a critic of Gene Upshaw, the head of the Players Union when it came to attending to the needs of older players in terms of medical and financial help in favor of current players.
DeLamielleure, along with other former greats such as Mike Ditka announced the first Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund auction in 2007, and he stated that both Upshaw and former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue had "done nothing" when it comes to older players.
DeLamielleure was a promoter of the All-American Football League, a spring league that hoped to fill a void of the now-defunct NFL Europe.
The AAFL planned to take collegiate players provided they've earned a four-year college degree.
However, the league did not play a game.
