May have missed something ...

Hannah was a freak. He wasn’t huge - 6’ 2” and played between 265 and 280 pounds - but he was incredibly strong. Benched 650 pounds and squatted over 900. Ran a 4.8 40. Quick feet and moved like a back. Had a mean streak. Despite not pulling much in college he became the best NFL pulling guard of all time.

Faneca is arguably the 2nd best Guard of all time. The only guard that was better is Hannah, and only by a little bit.
