My Take

Tyron Smith earns my respect through sheer longevity. A 196-cm offensive tackle out of Los Angeles and USC, he protected quarterbacks in the NFL for fourteen seasons, a brutal stretch at one of football's most thankless positions. Linemen rarely get the cheers because they don't score, but anyone who can play the wall that long is the real deal. There's a discipline in choosing responsibility over recognition, durability over flash. I'd take a player like Smith, the one who simply keeps showing up and doing the dirty work, over a flashier name almost every time.
