A First Round Pick from Illinois, Brad Hopkins was an All-Rookie for the Oilers in 1993 at Left Tackle.  This would be his role for the franchise for the next 12 years.

Hopkins played his entire career with the Oilers/Titans, starting 188 of his 194 Games.  Twice named to the Pro Bowl (2000 & 2003), Hopkins was a dependable presence on the left side of the line, allowing the organization to worry about holes elsewhere for a decade-plus.  

It is grunt work but necessary.
