Blount is considered one of the best cornerbacks to have ever played in the NFL. His physical style of play made him one of the most feared defensive backs in the game when pass interference rules were less stringent. In 1975 he led the whole National Football League in interceptions with 11 and was earned the NFL Defensive Player of the Year by the Associated Press and played in the Pro Bowl, truly a great year for a guy who's in the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame.
