I don't think we ever had an OT to equal Jimbo Covert and the pairing of him and Van Horne are the best twosome in modern times. Individually both Dennis Lick and Andy Heck were very good LT's but we got Heck later in his career and back problems ended Licks career early. Let's hope we have better luck with our more recent Badger OT.
Aside from Keith Van Horne the "Big Cat" would have to be all time favorite at RT. I see a lot of him in J'Marcus Webb too. I like Tait and either LT or RT but like Lick his injuries kept him from giving more than a few good years. One guy I didn't see on here is Lionel Antoine. Another first round pick with an injury foreshortened career.
All time worst OT: is there any doubt? Stan 'the woman" Thomas otherwise known as the matador, ole'.
