Top-21 Offensive Lineman in NFL History - TGT USA
The Greatest Offensive Linemen of all Time! The offensive line is one of the most important positions on a football team and they never get the exposure they should. Today we are going to change that a little bit by looking at the very best to ever play the game. 21) Ed White White began his...

1) Anthony Munoz
At left tackle, Muñoz was the total package of size, strength, athleticism, and technique. He revolutionized what it meant to be a powerhouse left tackle. In the passing game, Muñoz routinely shut down the game’s best defensive ends and outside linebackers with his quick feet and heavy hands. In the running game, he could wall off his man for two counts, pancake him, and rumble downfield to create chaos on the second and third levels.2) Larry Allen
At 6’3″, 325 pounds Allen used his strength to move people around and was a mauler who instilled fear in his opponents without having to resort to dirty tactics. He earned 11 trips to the Pro Bowl and got inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2013.5) John Hannah
“The Hog” made up for his lack of size with speed, agility, and fiery intensity. He worked and made his technique as perfect as possible, so he could get leverage no matter the situation. It’s because of his athleticism that Hannah was especially effective as a pulling guard, who could get out front of the runner and act like a second fullback. John Hannah was selected to nine Pro Bowls between 1976 and 1985. Most impressively, he was named lead guard on the NFL’s 75th Anniversary All-Time Team.20) Mick Tingelhoff
He was an AP First-Team All-Pro selection for the first of five times in 1964 and also began a streak of six straight Pro Bowl appearances (1964–1969) that season. In 1967, he was named First-Team All-Pro by Newspaper Enterprise Association and UPI and Second-Team All-Pro by the AP. In 1969, he was named the NFL’s Top Offensive Lineman of the Year by the 1,000-Yard Club in Columbus, Ohio. In 1970, he was named First-Team All-Pro by both the PFWA and Pro Football Weekly. He was also named Second Team All-Pro by Newspaper Enterprise Association. He was named First Team All-NFC for that season by the AP.Tingelhoff was one of 11 players to have played in all four Vikings Super Bowl appearances in the 1970s and is considered the best center of his era.
13) Will Shields
Shields blocked for Marcus Allen, Priest Holmes, and Larry Johnson during his career. He had blocked for 1,000-yard rushers for five seasons. He blocked for 4,000-yard passers for five seasons while Elvis Grbac did it in 2000 and Trent Green in 2003, 2004, and 2005. In fourteen seasons, Shields never missed a game, and he failed to start only one contest, his first regular-season outing, as a rookie in 1993. He was selected to the pro bowl 12 times and was named to the NFL’s all-decade team for the 2,000’s.
Shields was a true ironman. Never missed a start in 14 years is crazy. All time Husker great.Top O linemen of all time. Solid list. Munoz at 1 is spot on. Other greats. Couple Huskers on it Mick Tingelhoff, Will Shields. Other greats include Bruce Matthews, Larry Allen, Orlando Pace.

One of the greatest OL ever. RIP big fella.
When you see a guy make plays like that, you know that he has the love of the game to be great.
Yeah, pretty much dead on with Munoz and Allen at #1 and #2. Hannah and Pace was just a step behind those 2Top O linemen of all time. Solid list. Munoz at 1 is spot on. Other greats. Couple Huskers on it Mick Tingelhoff, Will Shields. Other greats include Bruce Matthews, Larry Allen, Orlando Pace.

He was scary good as a player. Elite athlete. Prayers for his family and friends, may the best of times and memories be at the forefront of their minds
