David Walter LaFary (born January 13, 1955) is an American former professional football player who was a tackle for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League (NFL). LaFary played college football for the Purdue Boilermakers, and played tackle for La Salle High School.[1]
Lafary was up for anything — lining up at left tackle for most of his career, or switching to right guard for a season. He didn't make a fuss about not getting featured on the starting unit, with just 58 starts in 109 career games. Fifth-round draft picks had to be. His willingness to move around the line and relative success from different positions did a lot to build trust with the coaching staff, and it helped Lafary stick around for a long time.
