A seven-time Pro Bowler who spent the majority of his career with the New England Patriots, Logan Mankins fought his way from being an undersized Offensive Lineman to a First Round Draft Pick to a First Team All-Pro Selection.  The former Fresno State Bulldog did not win the Super Bowl with New England but helped to protect Tom Brady to get his team to two of the big dances.  An exemplaray run-blocker, Mankins suffers the same problem as Raiders Lineman, Steve Wisnieuski, in that he was not on a championship team and does not receive pushes from their fan bases as less talented player who do have a ring.

Notably, Mankins was also a Pro Bowl selection seven times, including his final season, which was with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Generally, non Quarterbacks don’t have spectacular seasons in their 30’s, but Henry Ellard did.  In fact, he really didn’t become a star in the National Football League until he turned 27.
