Rote was a versatile player who could play both offense and defense. He was a powerful runner and a great receiver, and he was also an excellent blocker. He was a two-time Pro Bowl selection and was named to the All-Pro team four times. He was also the first player in NFL history to record 1,000 receiving yards in a single season.
Rote was also known for his leadership and sportsmanship. He was named the NFL Player of the Year in 1954 and was the first recipient of the NFL's Man of the Year award in 1960. He was also the first president of the NFL Players Association.
Rote retired from the NFL in 1961 after 10 seasons. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1965 and the College Football Hall of Fame in 1974. He was also inducted into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in 1976.
