The battle for Wisconsin is a simple case of offensive lineman Joe Thomas against defensive lineman J.J. Watt. With Watt’s career still incomplete, the edge has to go to Thomas, who’s probably one of the few linemen in recent memory who could keep Watt contained over 60 minutes.

It’s easy to forget about Thomas because he spent all 11 seasons of his career with the lowly Browns. But he was strong as an ox, which ironically can’t be found in Wisconsin. Despite playing in obscurity in Cleveland, Thomas went to 10 straight Pro Bowls and was a First-Team All-Pro seven times in his 11 seasons and will surely be in the Hall of Fame one day.
Runners Up: J.J. Watt, Mike Webster
