Any combination of players in this list would make for an intimidating O-line that defenders would find hard to stop. After all, plenty of them has gotten Pro Bowl and All-Pro mentions. However, there's something special about Thomas getting the nod.
The tackle, who retired in 2017, was with the team during its most trying years. In fact, his final season with the Browns saw him endure a terrible 0-16 season. The Browns' performance that season is considered as one of the worst season performances by a team in league history.
However, he kept his head up and led the offensive line. He was talented enough to leave for another team as he's named to the First Team All-Pro a total of six times. However, he chose to stick to the Dawg Pound, and the fans reciprocated his loyalty with undying devotion.
Through his 11-year career, he notched ten tackles and 10 fumble recoveries. He's been named to the Pro Bowl for every year of his career save for his final season.
