Richard Dean Himes, a.k.a. "Ox" Himes, (born May 25, 1946) was a National Football League offensive lineman who played his entire career for the Green Bay Packers. Hines was born in Canton, Ohio, where he attended Canton South High School.^[1] At Canton South, Hines was named Associated Press lineman of the year during his senior year. Before that, he was named an all-state selection twice at the offensive end position. After high school, he attended Ohio State University, where he started for three years along the offensive and defensive lines. He was named All-Big Ten twice, at two different positions.^[2]

Himes was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1968 NFL draft by the Green Bay Packers and ended up playing for the team from 1968 to 1977.^[2] He played a total of 135 games during his 10 seasons, starting 104 of those games.^[1] He became a starter in 1970 and was a mainstay at the right tackle position until he was replaced by Greg Koch in 1977.^[2] The Packers tried to trade Hines but with no other teams expressing interest, he was ultimately released.^[3] Packers' historian Cliff Christl noted that Hines lacked proper recognition for his accomplishments because he played for bad Packers team under poor leadership. Hines, according to Christl, had "good feet" and was a "good athlete" that "had the versatility to be comparably efficient as a drive blocker and a pass protector".^[2]
