David Walter LaFary (born January 13, 1955) is a former American football tackle in the National Football League (NFL) for the New Orleans Saints. LaFary attended Purdue University, and played tackle for La Salle High School.
Lafary was up for anything — lining up at left tackle for most of his career, or switching to right guard for a season. He didn't make a fuss about not getting featured on the starting unit, with just 58 starts in 109 career games. Fifth-round draft picks had to be. His willingness to move around the line and relative success from different positions did a lot to build trust with the coaching staff, and it helped Lafary stick around for a long time.
