Jonathan Ogden Retires
TEAMS: Baltimore Ravens,  Washington Redskins
PLAYERS: Jonathan Ogden,  Ray Lewis
For such a big man to play so well for so long, you have to give a lot of credit to Baltimore Ravens' offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden. Save for the Hogs of the Washington Redskins, no other player did more to popularize such an unglamorous position on the football field. And considering he didn't have a bunch of cross-dressing pigs to assist in the marketing, the fact that his talent made his name for him solidifies the claim that he is the best ever at the position.

      I'm so-so on the O-line in Baltimore. They've shuffled it around a lot this offseason.

    Clearly an excellent player in his own right, Ogden also benefitted (in terms of notoriety and Pro Bowl selections) from the fact that Tony Boselli's career ended abruptly.
