🔼 All-Time Anchor. Virginia football has retired six jersey numbers across its storied history. Jim Dombrowski’s No. 73 is one of them.

Dombrowski starred on UVA’s offensive line from 1982-85, and became Virginia’s first-ever unanimous All-American. He also won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy as the ACC’s best blocker twice, and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2008.

Dombrowski was drafted sixth overall to the New Orleans Saints in the 1986 NFL Draft, and spent 11 seasons with the Saints. He is a member of the New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame.
