Ressler was regarded as one of the top college football linemen in the country during his junior and senior years of 1963 and 1964, winning the Maxwell Award as America's best all-around player in the latter year. He played both offense and defense in the college ranks, gaining his highest accolades as a middle guard lining up over center on the defense. As a pro, Resseler was used primarily as an offensive lineman, starting at all three line positions. Beginning in his third season, he was a consistent starter at left guard for the Colts.
Ressler was an NFL champion in 1968 and a Superbowl champion in 1970 as a member of the Colts. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2001.
