Alan Faneca

I have a soft spot for offensive linemen, and Alan Faneca is the platonic ideal. A 6-foot-5 guard who anchored an NFL line for thirteen seasons after earning consensus All-America honors at LSU, he did the invisible work that wins games. Guards rarely make highlight reels; they just clear lanes and keep quarterbacks upright, play after punishing play. What impresses me is the longevity. Thirteen years at that position is less about raw gifts than stubbornness and craft. The New Orleans native is a reminder that the most decorated careers often belong to the men the cameras ignore.
