Robert Brazile, nicknamed Dr. Doom, talks about his path from college walk-on to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

A broken arm derailed Robert Brazile's college recruitment from Mobile, Alabama. He walked on at Jackson State, where he became teammates with Walter Payton.

Brazile went on to become a first-round pick and spent 10 years with the Houston Oilers—never missing a game. Seven Pro Bowls and two first-team All-Pro selections later, "Dr. Doom" earned his place in Canton.
