In the 1998 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected LSU OG Alan Faneca with the No. 26 pick in the first round, and what a great pick that ended up being for the team. Another Hall of Famer in a long list of them coming from the Steelers, and he helped secure a fifth Lombardi trophy for the city in the 2005 season.

His list of accolades is quite impressive, with six first-team All-Pro selections, nine straight Pro Bowl selections, and a spot on the 2000s All-Decade Team. He played for the Steelers for ten seasons before finishing out his career with the New York Jets and the Arizona Cardinals.
