The nose tackle position is often an overlooked one. Very few of these players make any kind of splash on highlight reels and are consistently lacking in the statistics department. Even still, they can impact the game on a nearly every-down basis, especially when you find one as talented as Haloti Ngata was.
Haloti Ngata wasn’t your average nose tackle. No, Ngata was so much more than that. What Ngata did for the Baltimore Ravens defense was completely game-changing. For years, Baltimore has employed some terrific nose tackles such as Tony Siragusa, Kelly Gregg, and Sam Adams. In Ngata, they had something different… something, special.
