My favorite Packers player? That's easy

One of the questions you answered was about a few of the best offensive linemen of all time. Whenever I read something about the greatest offensive linemen, it always throws me off that I rarely see Bruce Matthews’ name mentioned. Clay Matthews’ uncle played all over the line and started well over 200 straight games, making the Pro Bowl all of the last 15 years of his 19-year career. Doesn’t that sort of sustained greatness hold weight?

He’s one of the greatest offensive linemen in the history of the game, but he would probably fall into the underrated category for one reason: He played most of his career as an interior lineman in the era of the left tackle.
