A. <b>2015 Pro Bowl<br /> 2015 All-Pro</b>. OG. Baltimore Ravens. MARSHAL YANDA

What else is there to say other than he’s the best? Pro Football Focus has rated him the top interior offensive lineman in football once again. He’s going to the Pro Bowl for the fifth time, a feat that only the franchise’s best have accomplished.

Yanda is the perfect physical element that the Ravens need on their offensive line. He’s exceptionally strong in the running game, and very rarely has his opponent move him into the backfield on passing downs. There is no debate that he is the best lineman on this roster, if not the NFL.

He was rewarded with a four-year, $37.4 million contract extension this season, which made him the highest-paid guard in the league. He figures to be the foundation of the Ravens offensive line for years to come and could be one of the rare few that starts and finishes his career with the same team that drafted him.
