30 greatest players to never win a Super Bowl
4. Anthony Munoz, OT, Cincinnati Bengals
Left tackles and right tackles, left guards and right guards and of course, center. Pick and choose your favorite position on the offensive line and list the greats at those spots. There are so many fantastic performers to choose some and the Pro Football Hall of Fame will provide you with an ample list.
Consider all of the choices and the various positions and then think about what it would take to be considered the greatest offensive lineman in the entire history of the National Football League. To even be a part of the conversation would speak volumes of your career. But that’s one of the first things you hear when the name Anthony Munoz comes up.
The third overall selection in the 1980 NFL Draft, the 6-foot-6, 278-pound prospect from USC was a 16-game starter from the get-go. He would play a total of 13 seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals and was named to the Pro Bowl 11 consecutive years from 1981-91. He was also a nine-time All-Pro selection. The athletic blocker also proved his worth is other ways as he eventually became a factor when it came to the passing attack. As a tackle eligible, Munoz caught seven passes for 18 yards and four touchdowns in a four-year span from 1984-87.
In his 13 seasons, the Bengals made four playoff runs and reached the Super Bowl in both 1981 and 1988. Both games ended with losses to the San Francisco 49ers. This despite the outstanding play of this Hall of Fame performer.
