I think TA is generally overrated.  But what surprises me that LC hasn’t sniffed a pro-bowl considering he played for the Cowboys.  Bengals, I would understand.

Probably a victim of being a right tackle. Willie Anderson ran into that a lot throughout his career.

Here are some good quotes from this article about Willie's career:


"During those 13 years, there were 39 offensive tackles voted to the AFC Pro Bowl team, three each season. Only five of those 39 tackles played the right side."


"Anderson was voted to the Pro Bowl three times and Lincoln Kennedy twice from the right side. The other 34 spots went to 10 different left tackles, including Hall of Famers Walter Jones, Jonathan Ogden and Willie Roaf. The four offensive tackles voted to the 1990s NFL all-decade team all played left tackle. The four tackles on the 2000s NFL all-decade team also were all left tackles."

Edit:

Also, Right tackle was not even recognized as a separate position for All-Pro voting until 2016. Just look at 2015, all the tackles were left tackles:

2015 All Pro Tackes:

Joe Thomas, Andrew Whitworth, Tyron Smith, Trent Williams
