vcczar Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 This was both the most simple and the most difficult list to make. Martin #32 and Kelce #41 are the only active members on this list. Munoz probably really should be #1, but he was generally on mediocre teams, which kind of weigh him down a bit since playoff success awards a few points, although this is based almost exclusively on First Team All-Pro selections. Name Rank Otto, Jim 1 Munoz, Anthony 2 Mix, Ron 3 Gregg, Forrest 4 Parker, Jim 5 Hannah, John 6 Matthews, Bruce 7 McDaniel, Randall 8 Yary, Ron 9 Tyrer, Jim 10 Webster, Mike 11 Fortmann, Danny 12 Creekmur, Lou 13 Ringo, Jim 14 Allen, Larry 15 Hein, Mel 16 Kramer, Jerry 17 Faneca, Alan 18 Brown, Rosey 19 Dawson, Dermontti 20 Upshaw, Gene 21 Thomas, Joe 22 Little, Larry 23 Tingelhoff, Mick 24 Groza, Lou 25 Michalskie, M 26 Shaw, Billy 27 Stanfel, Dick 28 Hutchinson, Steve 29 Emerson, Ox 30 Matheson, Riley 31 Martin, Zach 32 Brown, Bob 33 Hubbard, Carl 34 Stephenson, Dwight 35 Evans, Jahri 36 Wright, Rayfield 37 Grimm, Russ 38 Ogden, Jonathan 39 Neely, Ralph 40 Kelce, Jason 41 Wistert, Al 42 Gatski, Frank 43 Henry, Pete 44 Stydahar, Joe 45 Jones, Walter 46 Langer, Jim 47 Roaf, Willie 48 Barwegen, Dick 49 Kinard, Bruiser 50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark2 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) Funny how the Browns managed to make the guy who's at 22 here the best player they had for nearly a full decade Edited October 4, 2022 by mark2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bruce Matthews is Gus closest approximation. Dominant on a bad team. Matthews just played twice as long as Thomas, and at the same level throughout. Munoz at least went to two SBs despite being on generally a bad team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applaud his loyalty to the team though. It gets rarer and rarer as the years go on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid, players often played for one team their entire career, regardless how much they excelled or degraded. It wasn't until the late 1990s that players were frequently switching teams. A team might keep 75% of their starting roster for like a decade someimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
