Picking offensive linemen for the Hall of Fame is probably the hardest job for the official selectors. After all, these blockers generally toil without notice until committing a penalty such as holding or making a false start. This year you could throw a blanket over the three finalists – Will Shields, Willie Roaf, and Dermontti Dawson – because they are so close in ability and achievement. Nevertheless, we’ll go with Shields for two reasons: He made the Pro Bowl a very impressive 12 straight years and he never missed a game during his 14 seasons, an incredible feat in its own right.
