In 1992, The Dome Patrol (the four Saints linebackers - Mills, Johnson, Swilling, Jackson) made the Pro-Bowl. All four of them. No complete set of starting linebackers from one team had ever all made the Pro-Bowl in one year before.
No group has ever done it again.
Jackson and Mills are now in the HOF. Pat Swilling stands a very good chance of joining them.
