About Roger Wehrli, Hall of Famer

Roger Wehrli was a cornerback who spent his entire 14-year career with the St. Louis Cardinals from 1969 to 1982. The first-round draft pick out of the University of Missouri was a seven-time Pro Bowler and a consensus All-American in college. Playing primarily on the right side, Wehrli accumulated 40 career interceptions and 19 fumble recoveries while earning multiple All-Pro honors. Hall of Famer Roger Staubach called him the best cornerback he faced. Despite playing mostly for losing teams, Wehrli is considered among the greatest cornerbacks in NFL history. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2007.
