Top 10 Offensive Lineman In NFL History

The Top Ten
1 Anthony Muñoz

It's honestly laughable to rank someone ahead of him. Watch film on him. The man simply did not make mistakes. Finding a needle in a haystack is easier to find than finding a clip of him giving up a sack.
Forrest Greg put him through a drill before being drafted. The story goes that Anthony Munoz easily threw Greg to the ground, who is also considered one of the best lineman ever (granted he was older, but still).
Above all he is a class A human being, his charitable work and contributions to the people of Cincinnati are like no other athlete in recent history. I'm sorry, anyone who ranks someone ahead of Anthony Munoz just doesn't know football.

Personally, I was in awe of him. The perfect LT, the prototype, the template. I have waited 20+ years to see another one like this cat, and no one has come close. No flaws in his game, no opponents gameplan could offset his dominance. You simply had to concede that side and create pressure elsewhere. Also a dominant run blocker. Its doubtful we'll see his equal.

If Anthony Munoz was in the lineup you could x out the opposing player for the entire game. Made it to two Super Bowls against the 1981 and 1988 49ers with Montana. kept this his hand empty of a ring with the Bengals.

2 Bruce Matthews

He was a starter for the Oilers/Titans for 20 years.

So consistently great.

3 John Hannah

The 1st O lineman to garner such high praise. Dominated many games for the Patriots. Quick, strong and unbelievably agile for a man that size. Great technique.

4 Forrest Gregg
5 Jim Otto
6 Jonathan Ogden

He was truly amazing. He was the Raven's first draft pick ever.

7 Orlando Pace Orlando Lamar Pace is a former American college and professional football player who was an offensive tackle in the National Football League for thirteen seasons.
8 Larry Allen

I have always wondered how good he would have done in the World's Strongest Man competition had he pursued strength athletics instead of football. He was one of the strongest football players of all time.

Should be up higher

Pro bowler at LG, RG and LT. The best offensive lineman of all time. Oh and NFL all decade team in the 1990's AND 2000's

9 Joe Thomas
10 Will Shields

He played fifteen years and never missed a game.

The Contenders
11 Gene Upshaw
12 Walter Jones

Out of 180 games he played, he allowed only 23 sacks and had just 9 holding penalties OVERALL. That's averaging a sack just 1 out of every 7 games and 0.8 holding penalties per season, or one every 2.6 seasons. Pretty much the best left tackle ever. John Madden said so too.

13 Ron Mix
14 Willie Roaf
15 Jason Peters Jason Raynard Peters is an American football offensive tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League.
16 Zach Martin
17 Dwight Stephenson
18 Art Shell
19 Jerry Kramer
20 Tyron Smith

He's a monster

21 Jackie Slater
22 Roosevelt Brown
23 Kevin Allen
24 Dick Schafrath
25 Chris Snee

Should definitely be inTop 20. To prove it, just watch his highlights!
