When building an NFL franchise, the quarterback position is usually where a team starts. However, protecting said passer is also of paramount importance, and the offensive tackle is one of the most valued players on a franchise for this capacity.
The Cincinnati Bengals have had massive success with many players on the outside to protect their quarterbacks, ranging from the incomparable Anthony Munoz, to Willie Anderson and Andrew Whitworth more recently.
Cincinnati’s current group at the position has a similar draft status amongst its players, but the potential for some has yet to be realized.
