Every NFL Team’s Best Draft Pick of All-Time

player. 56. <p>Anthony Munoz was the No. 3 pick in 1980 but at the time it was a risky choice considering injuries limited the USC tackle to a total of eight games in his junior and senior years with the Trojans. The reward outweighed the risk considering Munoz missed only 23 games in his 13-year career and is in the Hall of Fame as one of, if not the greatest, offensive tackle in NFL history.</p> <p>The 6-6, 280-pound left tackle was the first great athlete to play the position and today’s NFL is looking for players like Munoz to protect the quarterback’s blind side. A college baseball pitcher who won a national championship in 1978, Munoz also combined strength training and distance running to become the prototype for the position.</p> <p>He played for two Cincinnati teams that went to the Super Bowl, was an 11-time Pro Bowler and a nine-time first-team All-Pro. As great as he was on the field, he was just as great off it, winning the Bart Starr Man of the Year Award in 1989 and the Walter Payton Man of the Year in 1991.</p> <p>Inducted in the Hall of Fame in 1998, Munoz was also named to the NFL’s 75th anniversary all-time team.</p>. OT. Cincinnati Bengals. Anthony Munoz. 7
