NFL Guard or Security Guard?

"You don't know. You just don't know. You may think you know, but you don't know and you never will know," once said former New Orleans Saints Head Coach Jim Mora.

They both toil in relative obscurity.

Little glory; Little adulation; Little notoriety. No one pays much attention really. A thankless task until something goes terribly wrong and then all hell breaks loose.

Of course, I speak of security guards and NFL offensive guards.

One chases shoeshine sharks with a scooter. An artisan of mall security if you will. The other protects rock star NFL quarterbacks from bodily injury. A mistake by either man can be disastrous.

So you think you know football?

Maybe you write your own blog. Maybe you're a local beat reporter on The Sports Beast. Maybe you live in Philly and are a political professional/crazy Eagles fan who can recite Vince Papale's bio word for word. Then, again, maybe you think you know but you don't know and never will.

I have taken it upon myself to gather the names of some of New Orleans Finest in the Security field.

Following are a list of 20 names- some security guards and some NFL offensive guards. In your reply, list the corresponding numbers of the ones you believe to be security guards.
