The Top 10 Offensive Linemen in Gator History

The first list that goes to Donkey's favorite subject Big Butts, don't have an issue with most the names on the list. I disagree with the order.

 

[QueenCityGator]

So hard to judge offensive lineman. It is less about numbers and more about the “how many good plays vs bad plays did they have” ratio.

 

[GatorJ]

Kenyatta Walker should be somewhere on this list.

 

[TheDouglas78]

Should be a list of tackles, then a list of interior guys.

 

[GatorJ]

And Mike Degory is one of the best centers to play at Florida. Should probably be on this list as well.

 

[Concrete Helmet]

See my av for the #1 spot and yes Kenyatta Walker is missing...

 

[FireFoley]

Jon Jalapeno. How a guy could be so horrendous in college but find a place in the NFL is not a good reflection of his college coaches.

He actually got pretty good by his third season, more so at run blocking.

it wasn't his fault he was forced to start as a freshman long before he was ready. I admit I was pretty hard on him his first two years.

 

[Frozen Gator]

Great List! The "Great Wall of Florida", I yearn for the day we have another line at that level. What would you call Butters best line, "Smoke and Mirrors"?

 

[QueenCityGator]

Was it either of these guys?

 

[Windy City Gator]

I would trade out Zimmerman...over rated.

 

[SeabeeGator]

Should be a list of tackles, then a list of interior guys.

I was thinking the same thing. Too broad.

 

[Gatordiddy]

I would trade out Zimmerman...over rated.

...and replace him with...?

 

[Double Gator Dad]

And all these years I could have sworn Florida had a football team before 1984 but apparently I must have dreamed that

but they weren't big ass 300+ pounders...

I don't recall any big named O-linemen from the 60's or 70s (or before).
Were there any All-America linezmens?

The author is a youngin, in the other lists their were some pre 84 players.

Off the top of my head, Mo Collins, Zach Pillar, Kenyatta Walker come to mind. You and I were there when Ziimmerman played, and he was lazy.

Good suggestions - forgot about Mo Collins.
yeah... we were privileged to see the Great Wall back in the day.

Hence three first round RBs. plus james jones in 82.
