Browns guards earn praise from ESPN

The Cleveland Browns were not much for winning from 1999 until 2020.

But one area where they were consistently good at much of that time was along the offensive line. Anchored by Hall-of-Fame left tackle Joe Thomas for more than 10-plus seasons, the line also boasted Alex Mack, Mitchell Schwartz, Eric Steinbach, John Greco, J.C. Tretter, and Kevin Zeitler, to name a few.

The list also includes left guard Joel Bitonio, who may find himself alongside Thomas once again one day as a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
