Mt. Rushmore by Position - Centers
We have way too many great players to limit our discussion to just one Mount Rushmore, so I thought it would be good to discuss the Mount Rushmore by position.
Here's how I'll post them up. If a position has one person on the field (e.g., quarterback, center, tight end), the Mount Rushmore will have four players. If a position has two people on the field (e.g., cornerback, offensive tackle, wide receiver), the Mount Rushmore will have eight players. If a position has a varied history of one or two people on the field (e.g., defensive tackle, running back, inside linebacker), the Mount Rushmore will have six players. The wide receiver Rushmore will have ten players since they've varied between two and three people on the field. I'll put up a poll that will contain three times the number of available slots at a minimum. The candidates will include the players with the most career starts at that position, plus any player who ever made a pro bowl. I'll use PFR as a reference, and will manually change any positions that are obviously an error (e.g., they list Joe Valerio as a center for some reason). We'll start with an easy one: center. Vote for FOUR to go on this Mount Rushmore. |

My votes:
Rudnay and Grunhard are obvious choices. Surprisingly, I think Creed is an easy choice despite being early in his career. My final vote came down to Wiegmann, Gilliam, and Holub. Gilliam has a pro bowl, but those were cheaper in an 8-team AFL. Wiegmann has a ton of starts. Holub centered for a Super Bowl winner. It's a tough call, but my final slot goes to Holub. |

In no particular order...
Holub Humphrey Rudnay Webster (ya, he wasn't around long, but he helped turn the whole thing around at that time) |

Bit of trivia; when I was eleven years old I met Jack Rudnay at a funeral of all things. My classmate was struck and killed by a truck while walking to school, and I think Rudnay was friends with his father.
Anyway, love the original #58. Grunhard was a caveman in pads and deserved more recognition than he got; that 90s offensive line was doooooom. |
