Picking the last spot on the offensive line was tough with Jonathan Ogden, Bill Fralic, Willie Roaf and Barrett Jones, but I went with former USC Trojans tackle Ron Yary to claim the last spot. Yary was a two-time consensus All-American in 1966 and 1967 and won the Outland Trophy in 1967 when the Trojans won the national title.

Not too shabby considering Yary began his USC career as a defensive tackle and won the Pac-8 Defensive Lineman of the Year as a sophomore before converting to offensive tackle. I’d say the move worked out quite well since he’s in the College and Pro Football Hall of Fame. Yary was the No. 1 pick in the 1968 draft by the Minnesota Vikings.
