This evening, football will honor Mizzou All-American Roger Wehrli with induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Wehrli was inducted to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003 and was part of the first class inducted into the Missouri Hall of Fame.
At Mizzou, Wehrli was twice named all-Big-8, including a senior year that led to his selection as a unanimous All-American and Big 8 Defensive Player of the Year. A Wehrli interception played a large role in Mizzou's victory over Alabama in the 1968 Gator Bowl.
The last Tiger to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame was Kellen Winslow, who was inducted as a part of the Class of 2002. Wehrli will be the 13th member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame with Mizzou ties.
