I don't think you can go wrong with any of those, but Munoz stands above the rest slightly for me


I agree that Munoz is probably the best ever. The issue with your list (and everyone else's) is that it ignores everyone that played before 1980. It is a little easier to compare lineman across eras than it is to compare skill position players.

Dan Deirdorf, Forrest Gregg, and Bob Brown were each All-Pro more times than anyone other than Munoz and Thomas and are top 10 tackles without a doubt.

He was named the 12th best football player of all-time in 2010 in the NFL's Top 100. Pretty high praise for an offensive lineman.

He only played 16 College games...had tore his knee and still played 12 seasons in the NFL, named to the 1980'd All-Decade Team, NFL's 75th Anniversary team and the 100th Anniversary team.
