Possibly best ever OL. Strength and quickness unmatched.
For proof, watch a clip from 1994 where he runs down an opposing NO player that had intercepted the ball from Aikman.

Amazing how he played at a D-2 school and became probably the best offensive lineman in NFL history. Dude was a machine.
Died way too young.

"Possibly best ever OL"
Oh, hell no. Was he good? sure. Best Ever??!? Not even close.
What makes the best OL?? A lot of intangibles, cuz they ain’t a lot of stats for OL.
Best OL ever:
John Hannah
Willie Roaf
Mike Webster
Anthony Munoz
Jonathan Ogden
@rd
Dwight Stephenson
Orlando Pace
Joe Thomas
Randall McDaniel

Yeah, another San Francisco Bay Area kid. Went to high school up here and played at a small college in Rohnert Park (Sonoma State).
Grew up as a Niner fan. That's why he wanted to end his career in San Francisco.
Good Bay Area dude and great football player.
RIP

Might want to rethink your position on this.
Pull up the 1999 YT video where he dominates the Indy Colts. He single-handedly was responsible for the Cowboys scoring a TD during one series.
Never seen, or heard of any of the folks cited above doing that.
