Marshal Yanda had an illustrious career with the Baltimore Ravens and is considered one of the best Offensive Linemen in the team's history. If not for Jonathan Ogden, he would undoubtedly be the best.

Yanda was selected in the third round of the draft from Iowa. He started 12 of his 16 games as a rookie and was a permanent fixture on the right side of the line from 2010 until his retirement in 2019. He earned his first Pro Bowl selection in 2011 and went on to receive this honor eight times. He was a two-time First Team All-Pro and a Second Team Selection five times. His presence on the O-Line helped the Ravens win Super Bowl XLVII, and his footwork and blocking techniques were so perfect that Offensive Guards will be studying his work for years.

Yanda's lunch pail work ethic made him a star in the eyes of his peers, coaches, and fans. He was one of the most regimented players in the game and, barring injury, never had an off year. He was an All-Decade Player and a pleasure to watch play.

The son of Hall of Famer Howie Long and brother of Chris Long, Kyle Long had a nice career in his own right, especially in the beginning.

Jon Condo was undrafted in 2005, but the Maryland Terrapin signed with the Dallas Cowboys, playing in three Games at Special Teams.

One of the best football players Central Michigan has ever produced, regardless of position, is Joe Staley.

Staley was chosen 28^th Overall by the San Francisco 49ers in 2007, and he was named a starting Right Tackle as a rookie.  Staley moved to Left Tackle the following year, which is where he would stay until he retired after the 2019 season.  He played his entire pro career in a 49ers uniform and was a steady constant on a team he saw through ups and downs, including a Super Bowl appearance.

Staley would be named to six Pro Bowls, was a three-time Second Team All-Pro, and was named to the 2010s All-Decade Team.
