Alan Faneca was a terror in the NFL. Unfortunately for the Ravens, he was also in the division donning the black & gold, meaning twice a year for ten seasons, the Ravens were forced to collide head-on with the eight-time All-Pro.
It’s not often you find a guard in the NFL who not only produces at the national level, but receives the hardware to prove it. Just look at Marshal Yanda’s performance since 2007 and you’ll realize he’s missing more awards than most at his performance level.
Alan Faneca:
6X First-Team All-Pro
2X Second-Team All Pro
Super Bowl XL champion
Marshal Yanda:
2X First-Team All-Pro
3X Second-Team All-Pro
Super Bowl XLVII champion
Faneca has received finalist nomination in all three of his first eligible years to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
