About Dick Himes

Lived 1946 – 2026 (aged 80). Dick Himes was an American american football player.

Richard Dean Himes (May 25, 1946 – July 5, 2026) was an American professional football player who spent his entire career as an offensive tackle for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Biography Himes was born in Canton, Ohio, where he attended Canton South High School. At Canton South, Himes was named Associated Press lineman of the year during his senior year. Before that, he was named an all-state selection twice at the offensive end position. After high school, he attended Ohio State University, where he started for three years along the offensive and defensive lines. He was named All-Big Ten twice, at two different positions.

He was selected 81st overall in the third round of the 1968 NFL draft by the Green Bay Packers and ended up playing for the team from 1968 to 1977. Packers' historian Cliff Christl noted that Himes lacked proper recognition for his accomplishments because he played for bad Packers team under poor leadership. Himes, according to Christl, had "good feet" and was a "good athlete" that "had the versatility to be comparably efficient as a drive blocker and a pass protector".
