Big Uglies - post your O-line items here!

DBesse27

There have been some truly great, impactful blockers in football history and these guys all go largely unheralded, especially in the hobby. Do any of you collect o-linemen? Even if that's not a main focus of yours, please share any cool related cards or items here.

As you can see from my sig line, I am a John Hannah master collector. It's been almost 3 months since my laptop cooperated with my scanner and I was playing catch up tonight, so here are scans of a few Hannah items I picked up in the not-so-distant past.

Also some Hannah items I've had for a year, or several years, with fresh scans tonight. Remember to share your O-linemen items here!

Nice thread. I love a good offensive lineman. They don't get enough credit these days.

Hog was a great for sure. O line is very underappreciated by most fans. great teams start in the trenches.

Your Hannah collection is growing nicely Dan. Love the slim jims.

Not sure how to do it, (post link here) but I have over 125 different Joe Thomas Rookies (mostly 10s and 9s)...his Rookie set only has about 35-40 cards in it...Fletcher Collection. I started picking them up as soon as the Browns drafted him...I had a feeling he was going to be a great one.

Not my item, but his guy was a STUD!

You are to Great Wall of Dallas cards, what lawnmowerman is to Emmitt Smith cards. 😉

Exactly. Definitely needs to be in the meat-ish section

Me too. The way Jerry is running the team, we will probably never see that type of dominance again.

I agree and I would rank JT as a top 5 OT of all time, maybe higher. What a stud!

Yary and those great Cowboys were all awesome as well.

Keep ‘em coming, fellas!

I'm hoping this guy has a bounce-back year. He didn't do horrible last year but definitely needs to improve. Technically, it's not his fault. The line was injury-plagued and he was playing out of position. Being under-sized only compounded the issue.

Whoever it is, I’m pretty sure he’s pooping.

Amazing career never having played college football.....while he was in college he beat Brock Lesnar for the NCAA heavyweight title while he was a senior and Brock was a junior, Neal became a world champion too. Belichick knew what he was doing getting this man to play football and help protect Brady.

DBesse27

Awesome! When the Pats had Neal and Mankins manning the guard spots, their line was as good as I've ever seen it.

I just reminded myself I have this card, which I had signed in person. Love it!
