Nate Newton was a guard, was and remains extremely fat, and was jailed for distribution. Very popular, well known, that sort of thing, mostly because of his incredible fatness and loud personality. He really wasn't THAT great.
I know all of the names above. I feel comfortable in my ability to name most every All Pro guard going a decade prior to my birth. None, not one, received the kind of attention Munoz received.. and continues to receive really. Kind of like comparing a great long reliever with a starting pitcher. Perception is, if he's THAT great, he'd be a LT, or a center.
Not completely true, but a common perception.
IMO, Bruce Matthews was better than every guy you named up there. Will Shields pretty good tho
If I offended you in some way by poking fun at Nate Newton.. who appeared, I guess, to be Larry Allen.. then apologies. Nate Newton referred to himself as fat. In fact, his plans (his words) for retirement was to sit down and get SERIOUSLY fat.
Larry Allen was the best guard to ever play the game. He only played left tackle in an emergency.
He was NOT a tackle.
