Joe Thomas was one the best offensive linemen in NFL history.
His resume is stellar, including 10 Pro Bowls, six First-team All-Pro selections – he’s a member of the College Football Hall of Fame, and this Saturday will be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
With those credentials, there aren’t many better suited to provide an all-time offensive line list.
Appearing with Mackenzie Salmon on USA TODAY’s Sports Seriously, the legendary Browns tackle ran down his top five.
Thomas’ first selection was tackle Walter Jones, a nine-time Pro Bowler for the Seahawks who was enshrined in the Hall of Fame in 2014.
Immediately after that pick, Thomas told Salmon that you “can’t vote for yourself. It’s like student council in fourth grade.”
Jones’ teammate Steve Hutchinson was chosen as one of the guard positions; along with Steve Hutchinson, who starred for the Seahawks, Vikings and Titans.
Mike Webster, who won four Super Bowls with the Steelers is the center, with 11-time Pro Bowler Jonathan Ogden rounding out the line at the other tackle position.
Joe Thomas also told Sports Seriously about what it meant to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and even gave his thoughts on the upcoming Cleveland Browns season.
