I think he and Orlando Pace are some of first guys who come to mind when you think of as franchise LT's and I think he'll be a lock first ballot HoFer.

any thoughts?

I would add Walter Jones to that list as well, though I dont think he gets talked about as much as Ogden and Pace do.

I think he will be a first ballot HoF'er as well. When I think of Pace in recent years, (sadly) injuries are the first thing that comes to mind.

There are not that many OTs that have competed at such a high level for as long as these guys have. I'm interested to see which of the younger OTs will take the crown as the top OTs when these guys retire.

Exactly, its been almost Favre-esque but less publicised. Definite HOFer.

yeah, i wanted to mention jones too but i gave pace and ogden a slight nod for having superbowl rings. I certainly wouldn't mind having any of them in their primes....they were all pretty beastly

I'm still waiting for Dermontti Dawson to get in. He's only one of the best (If not the best Center) to play the game.

That would be Kent Hull.

Agree to disagree.


Mike Webster, Dermontti Dawson, Dwight Stephenson would be my top 3.
