Football is a game of big guys, and there aren’t many bigger than offensive tackles.

5. Tony Jones
Years with Broncos: 1997-00 (4 seasons)
Accolades: 1-time AP 2nd-team All Pro; 2-time Super Bowl champion
Tony Jones isn’t necessarily a “Bronco,” but he was a Bronco when it mattered most.
Jones had an 13-year career in the NFL, playing left and right tackle for the Browns/Ravens (9 seasons) and Broncos (4 seasons).
He joined the Broncos in 1997, playing alongside Hall of Fame tackle Gary Zimmerman at right tackle, before moving to left tackle full time the next season. He helped solidify one of the best offensive lines in the NFL, a line that blocked for a 2,000-yard rusher, Terrell Davis.
Unlike any other player on this list, Jones earned two Super Bowl rings with the Denver Broncos, and will forever be remembered for bringing the Mile High City two of its most special seasons in team history.
