Minimize
David Rimington won the Outland Trophy for best Interior Lineman in 1981 and 1982 while a player with the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers. He is the only two-time winner in the 53-year history of the award. In addition, he was also the recipient of the Lombardi Trophy and was named an All-American Center. The NCAA also recognized him as one of its Top Ten Student Atheletes. Upon graduation, Mr. Rimington was a first-round draft choice of the Cincinnati Bengals where he was named to the NFL All Rookie Team as a center in 1983. He later played for the Philadelphia Eagles. A holder of a Master's Degree in International Business from the University of Wisconsin, it is what David Rimington has accomplished since his football career ended that has earned him recognition by the Hall of Fame committee. David is the President of the Boomer Esiason Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing support for research, aimed at finding a cure for cystic fibrosis. In addition to supporting research, the foundation works to heighten awareness of this disease and to provide a better quality of life for those so afflicted.
