He and Kevin Mawae had almost identical careers. 2 of the best to ever play their positions in both college and the NFL. Took both close to the same amount of years to get in the hall. Had they been QBs or RBs with the same credentials, they would’ve been no doubt 1st ballot HOFers. But hey.... They’re in!

Should have been a damn Hall of Famer on his first ballot, but so happy for him regardless. Great Tiger and well deserved.

I remember when he left LSU early . Such a talent. His incredible block on the longest run in Super Bowl history made all us former lineman proud. Geaux Alan! Thanks for being a Tiger

As a former lineman and line coach Alan executed that trap block to perfection. Amazing dominant blocker
