Jake Long – 77
When the Miami Dolphins made Offensive Tackle Jake Long the first overall pick of the 2008 NFL Draft, many analyst questioned whether or not he would become a francise Left Tackle worthy of that honor. All Jake did was reward the Dolphins with a Pro Bowl after starting all 16 games his rookie year. Then he followed it up with yet another Pro Bowl berth his sophomore year. Entering his third year, Long is already considered among the elite Left Tackles currently playing the game. Towering at 6’7″ and weighing in at 317 lbs., Jake is quite an intimidating presence protecting fellow Michigan alumni teammate Chad Henne.
