The Greatest Athlete To Wear #73 is John Hannah, the great Pro Football Hall of Fame guard from the New England Patriots of the 1970’s and 80’s

Notable #73’s- Larry Allen would be my runner-up. The best guard in the game during his years with the Dallas Cowboys in the 1990’s and 200o’s. Joe Klecko was an outstanding defensive lineman for the Jets back in the Sack Exchange days. Leo Nomellini was a ten time pro bowl pick back in the 195o’s for the 49ers-a two way lineman. Ron Yary of the Vikings was one of the top offensive tackles of the 1970’s.

The pick is John Hannah who was a Hall of Fame guard for the New England Patriots from 1973-85. He was famously called ‘the greatest lineman ever’ by Sports Illustrated in the 1980’s. He was a ten time Pro Bowl selection. A dominating offensive lineman. A member of the All Decade team for both the 1970’s and 1980’s. He was elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
