Dude deserves his own thread.... 9x Pro Bowl, 3x 1st team All-Pro, 2x 2nd team All-Pro selection... Helluva player & a linchpin to this O-line for a decade. Team first guy and a great leader. The last 2 years were pretty self-evident of declining play.
He won't ever be favored over the likes of Webster or Dawson, but he's in the discussion. Biggest knock being his longevity. I don't think either Iron Mike or Dirt were as mobile as 'Kice was.
