Walt Sweeney

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From Syracuse University, where he made the school's all-century team, Walt Sweeney (born 1941) played in the North-South Game and the College All-Star Game. A first-round draft pick of the San Diego Chargers, in his rookie year in 1963, helped them win the American Football League championship.

A premier guard, he was versatile enough to fill in at virtually any offensive line position. Sweeney was named to five consecutive AFL All-Star teams at offensive guard beginning in 1965, and was later selected to the All-Time All-AFL second team.
