Don Macek
Despite being underrated throughout his career, some have considered him among the top performing NFL centers during the 1980s and the best Charger at that position up to that point in time.[4] He went on to play 14 seasons for San Diego where he missed only 8 starts in 163 career games.[3] Macek was known for his durability and the integral role he played on the team's offensive line, which provided cover for Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Fouts through most of the 1980s.[4] That Chargers' offensive line allowed the fewest sacks per pass attempt in the NFL from 1981-1983.[4] In 2004, Macek and his teammate Ed White were inducted into the Chargers Hall of Fame.
