My All-Time Favorite 10: NFL Offensive Linemen

No stats, no records, simply my favorite offensive linemen.

1. Anthony Munoz. The finest left tackle ever. Paul Brown knew talent. Munoz was the third-overall pick in the 1980 NFL Draft. His selection was a major risk because knee problems limited him to only eight games played his junior and senior years combined. Without a doubt, THE best draft choice in Bengal history.

2. Willie Anderson. A giant man with a giant heart. A four-time Pro Bowl selection with the Bengals.

3. Bruce Matthews. Played 19 years with the Oilers/Titans franchise. Played all five offensive line positions at different times in his career.

4. Max Montoya. Bengals four-time Pro Bowl guard. Played on both Bengal SB teams.

5. Will Shields. A fixture in the Pro Bowl. Played entire career for the Chiefs.

6. John Hannah. Sports Illustrated dubbed Hannah as the finest offensive lineman ever on a 1981 cover. Played entire career with the Patriots.

7. Conrad Dobler. The dirtiest NFL player ever, but he makes my list because he was honest about his antics. Very rough life after football.

8. Kyle Turley made my list simply because he came to his quarterback's defense when Damien Robinson of the Jets was roughing him up. Yes, he went too far, but I bet that Robinson never messed with Turley or a QB again.

9. Tony Mandarich. I chose Tony because he is the prime example of what steroids can do to a man. Overall second pick of the 1989 draft by the Packers. What size, what speed, what a physical specimen. What the hell did Michigan State do to stop his steroid use? Answer: Nothing!

10. Dave Rimington. Great college center, but an average center in the pros.
