27. Anthony Munoz

Let’s keep the love going for the big guys up front. Anthony Munoz is in the conversation for greatest offensive lineman in NFL history. He was named to 11 All-Pro teams, nine times as a First-Team All-Pro.

The No. 3 overall pick in the 1980 NFL Draft also made 11 consecutive Pro Bowls from 1981-91, and is a member of the NFL’s 1980s All-Decade Team. He was the best lineman on both Bengals teams that went to the Super Bowl, both of which they lost to the San Francisco 49ers.

Munoz was named the NFLPA Lineman of the Year four times, including winning the award in three consecutive seasons from 1989-91. He was named as a member of the NFL’s 7th Anniversary Team, as well as the 100th Anniversary Team. Munoz was enshrined in Canton in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1998. His level of consistency and constant production is why he is widely regarded as one of the best handful of offensive linemen in the history of the NFL.

Not only is Munoz one of the greatest players of all time, he is an ambassador for the Latino community, and easily the best Latino player to ever play.
