When Richard Garza broke into professional wrestling he did so with the pedigree of being a legitimate strongman and bodybuilding competitor.  He had modest success but when Verne Gagne in the AWA repackaged him as “The Mighty Igor Vodik” he found a persona that fit him like a glove.

It is not a stretch by any means to state that Nick Mangold was the greatest New York Jet Center ever.  We could easily go a step further and state that he is one of the best Offensive Lineman in franchise history.

A first rounder from Boise State, Ryan Clady brought an instance presence to the Denver Broncos O-Line immediately.  A second runner-up for the Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2008, the Left Tackle would go to his first of four Pro Bowls in 2009, not to mention being named a First Team All Pro.  He would again be named a First Team All Pro in 2012.  While Clady does have a Super Bowl ring with Broncos from their win at Super Bowl 50, he had a torn ACL that year and did not play, though his overall contributions to Denver were strong.

Josh Brown’s career may have ended with a thud (he was release by the Giants after admitting to an abusive relationship with his wife) but the Place Kicker from the University of Nebraska did have a long and successful career in the National Football League.
