As the first German-born player to be drafted into the NFL, Sebastian Vollmer was a key component to the New England Patriots offensive front.  After a strong rookie showing, Vollmer was offered the starting offensive tackle position at the beginning of the 2010 season and has not looked back since.  He was named Second Team All-Pro in 2010 and his consistent level of outstanding play was a big reason why the Patriots went on to win Super Bowl XLIX.  Vollmer retired from the game in 2017.
