The juxtaposition between bully and protector couldn’t be better demonstrated than in the life of an offensive lineman. On one down a player may be pushing people around, paving the way for a running back. The next play that same lineman could be holding off a pass rush, keeping his quarterback safe long enough to make a play. Success at the position requires exceptional balance of both being the sword and the shield. There’s also an obvious need to be selfless, putting the team’s success in front of individual glory. Former New Orleans Saints legend Stan Brock has embodied all these qualities throughout life, on and off the field.
