The Dome Patrol was rated by NFL Network as the #1 linebacker corps of all-time. They formed the second level of what is considered by many to be the most formidable 3--4 defense in National Football League history. The four linebackers made NFL history by collectively going to the Pro Bowl together in 1992.
As a unit, all four players were on the Saints roster for seven seasons, from 1986-1992, combining for 18 Pro Bowls. All four linebackers were voted to the Pro Bowl in 1992.
