Well the guys that were here the longest were Bostic, Grimm and Jacoby. Grimm was injured during the 87 season and 88- 91 he was only used in short yardage. I'm not sure Grimm had enough years starting. Bostic was a good center but not great. He was benched during the 87 year and only got his job back cause Grimm got hurt. But he did start on 3 SB winning teams. Good player but not great. That leaves Jacoby. I think Jacoby has a strong case but he moved to guard when Lachey came on so what position does he go in as? Guard or tackle? I personally think Jacoby was the best out of the group and played/started for a long time.
All the other guys like RC Thielmann, Lachey, Mackenzie, Stink and May were all good players that started on SB teams. But I wouldn't consider any of them great players. Lachey might have had a chance but injuries did him in.
