GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Most NFL offensive linemen played tackle at some point during their football lives, even if it was just in high school. Most of those played left tackle. It's where the best of the best lined up.
At one point in Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy's tenure, his entire starting five on the line had played tackle in college -- even then-center Evan Dietrich-Smith.
Lane Taylor is the exception.
It made what he accomplished Thursday night even more impressive.
