With Steve McNair's retirement from the NFL yesterday, Eagles tackle Jon Runyan is the only remaining active player to have played with the old Houston Oilers. Runyan was a fourth-round pick of the Oilers in 1996.
Not only that, but with Brett Favre also retiring, Runyan has now moved up to second place among active players with 176 straight regular season starts. Bucs linebacker Derrick Brooks is tops at 192 straight.
