Former NY Jets‘ guard Alan Faneca is on his way to Canton as the longtime Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday night.

Faneca was one of the most accomplished and successful linemen of his era, having made it to nine consecutive Pro Bowls and earning six first-team All-Pro nods to go along with two second-team All-Pro selections.

A first-round pick in the 1998 NFL Draft, Faneca originally made a name for himself playing for the Steelers where he helped lead one of the best offensive units in the league.
