Lou Creekmur was an American professional football offensive lineman who spent his entire ten-year National Football League career, from 1950 to 1959, with the Detroit Lions. He began as a guard and moved to tackle, and he was famously durable, appearing in every pre-season, regular-season and post-season game the Lions played from 1950 to 1958, a streak of 165 games. He played in eight consecutive Pro Bowls and was chosen as an All-Pro eight years in a row. During his time in Detroit the Lions reached the league championship game four times and won it in 1952, 1953 and 1957. Born in New Jersey and educated at William and Mary, he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1996.
