The 11 All-Time best Rams offensive linemen in franchise history
By Bret Stuter
2: Orlando Pace
When you think of the best of the best in terms of NFL offensive tackles, if the name Orlando Pace does not spring to mind, then you are missing one of the most superb and significant careers in NFL history. Orlando Pace was the guy who protected the blind side of venerable quarterback Kurt Warner. He was the guy whose performance on the offensive line allowed the "Show on Turf," to become the "Greatest Show on Turf."
Pace was the right guy for the job when the team needed him most.
While so many offensive weapons of the Saint Louis Rams have been honored since the team won Super Bowl XXXIV, the foundation of success in undoubtedly due to the fact that the team had the best left tackle in the NFL on the football field for that game.
Pace was a seven-time Pro Bowler, three-time All-Pro, and even earned All-Pro second-team honors. He has been inducted into the Professional Football Hall of Fame.
"I have been saying that as long as I have been playing it. To me (left tackle) it is a skill position for the simple fact that nine times out of 10 you are blocking probably the best athlete on their defensive team."

Like so many of the greatest football players of all time, Pace talked with humility and grace. He allowed his on-field performance to showcase just how powerful and dominant he could be. His 2016 Hall of Fame acceptance speech is worth a watch.
