The 11 All-Time best Rams offensive linemen in franchise history

8: Tom Newberry

When the LA Rams selected interior offensive lineman Tom Newberry in Round 2 of the 1986 NFL Draft with the 50th overall pick, the hope was that he would be a solid starter for the team's offensive line. What the team discovered is that the former Wisconsin-Lacrosse player had a knack for competing in the NFL. He played in 131 games for the Los Angeles Rams, and startied 128 of thos games. He closed out his career playing one more season with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

While an All-Pro alternate in 1987, Newberry earned both All-Pro and Pro Bowl honoers while playing for the Rams in both 1988 and 1989. Newberry stood 6-foot-2 and weighed 285 pounds, and was able to play and start for the Rams at center and left guard. He even played and started for the Rams in five playoff games,

Because he unsure of NFL teams' interest, he expected that he may need to rely on his long snapper forte to land and NFL contract.

Instead, Smith started at three different offensive line positions in his first four NFL seasons: Center, right guard, and right tackle. Even when he played, that feat was unheard of. Smith's versatility is enough unto itself to land him honors on this list. But he was a six-time Pro Bowler as well. He played 14 seasons (1978-1991) in the NFL, and all 14 years were in The Horns.
