#2 John Hannah | Top 10 Patriots of All Time | NFL 

You got that right! Without good offensive linemen, you'd have no game. They're the first line. Why sports writers and video editors hate them is they never carry the football. Offensive guards are essential.

As an o lineman I agree but still think Brady was better

To be fair the level of play in the NFL has increased a great deal since Hannah played and since 2000. Hannah was a 6’2 265 Guard, they have linebackers that big in the NFL today idek if he could step out of a time machine and compete without putting on 20-30 lbs. hell I’m a D3 linebacker/safety and he’s the same height as me and only has ab 40lbs on me. He is incredibly athletic for his size and today I think he’d still be a solid player on defense where he could put that quickness to good use That paragraph sounded disrespectful to Hannah and I don’t mean it to be, I just wanted to hammer home that guys in today’s NFL are bigger, stronger, faster and smarter and it would not be easy for him to adapt. That being said because of how dominant, great and everything he did for the game and the Patriots organization I’d absolutely consider him to be the #2 patriots player of all time the real point I wanted to make was ab decency bias

Bro he’s an ultimate 99 legend in MUT. I always get him for my team😂

@@vietnameeseguy madden sucks

Love John but taking my love of the Pats aside, I would say that Anthony Muñoz is the GOAT cuz he was a LT and John a LG. Both were fantastic tho.

Who's your center?

tubewatcher38 Jim Otto double 00 or Iron Mike Webster, both man are the classification of tough.

Michael Sloane Well your top 5 linemen didn't have a center. Those 3 were great tho.

+Michael Sloane DWIGHT STEPHENSON IS THE G.O.A.T. HANDS DOWN & JOHN HANNAH WAS GREAT FOR HIS ERA BUT LARRY ALLEN IS THE GREATEST GUARD EVERRRRR & ANTHONY MUNOZ IS THE BEST LEFT TACKLE & BRUE MATTHEWS IS THE MOST COMPLETE & VERSATILE OFFENSIVE LINEMAN EVER!!!

Gary Matlock it will NEVER be broken, if it was ridiculous in a time where QBs didn't throw much it certainly wont be under threat in an era where QBs are so pass happy

stealthiscool yeah ... about that record, 2019 Ravens would like a word with you

And it was 4 players who had over 500 yards but none had over 775 yds themselves! Oh and the 4th rusher was QB Steve Grogan

@@ThugKing25 1:18 eh.... Yes indeed the Ravens would.... Typical though, neither team did anything in the playoffs😂 like the 07 Patriots, 85 Dolphins and 98 Vikings..... Great teams alright

@@mikeyoungblood1642 Calhoun...Apple Juice Johnson...Sam Bam Cunningham...and Horace Ivory I think...Grogan of course...Pats 1978

Gronk is the best TE ever.

@@christophermullaley1597 Not even close.

Is Gronk #2 now?

Hannah very clearly belongs at 2

@Harry Engel Tony Gonzalez is still the best tight end ever.

Gronk ain't even top 5 in Patriots history. Gronk ain't top 5 TEs all time. Hannah is the BEST guard of all time.

I've been a Ram and Redskins fan from years ago and I know John Hannah's the best guard.

A Jets fan. My condolences. 🙈 🙉 🙊

Wrestling team too.

Mike Youngblood the patriots averaged 10 wins a year from 76 to 1980. 81 we went 2-14 but most games were close. 82,83, 84 we were 1 game over .500 and in 85 went to super bowl in Hannahs last year....the patriot running game was very mediocre right after 73 retired, the guy was a athletic, fkg mean bulldozer. He was every bit as good on oline as gronk is at te and could play hurt

Leo Durocher True. I was speaking more to the fact that they were the 2 All-Stars on teams that rarely made the playoffs. 10 wins meant less back then with less playoff slots

They weren't really that bad. From 1976-1988, they had only 1 losing season.

@@chrisuncleahmad They only made the playoffs in 76, 78, 82 (cause everyone did with the strike), 85 and 86...

I agree with Mr. Youngblood. Schreger never watched Hannah and is just dead wrong. I love Gronk but Hannah is clearly #2. Great point about Mike Haynes. Hannah played his entire career in New England which has to count for something on a list like this. I would put Andre Tippett ahead of Gronk too. As great as Gronk was with the Patriots he missed a tonne of games.

Oh yah without a shadow of a doubt

Thomas was a tackle, Hannah a guard.

2nd after Anthony Munoz

Randy White got 1/2 tackle and they ran right at him. Hannah dominated White that game.

That means that Hog won.

If I recall, he played the last few games of 85 with a torn bicep, and had a shoulder reconstruction right after the Superbowl. Tough, tough man.

Larry Allen

@@adamjabado4197 Anthony Munoz. Hannah was easily better than Larry Allen. Larry Allen got Emmitt Smith 1000 yds seasons. John Hannah got any ham and egger running behind him 1000 yd seasons.

Fairbanks was not too smart for trying to run an option offense in the pros, with Jim Plunkett at quarterback. 🤣

griffin martel He’s the best to ever play

There's this guy named Brady.....

@@sevenrats I know and he's awesome, but Hannah is the best.

​@warrenbfeagins You can't be serious! TB is considered by most to be the GOAT in NFL history. So, no way he isn't #1 for the Patriots. Unless, you feel J Hannah is the GOAT of all time.

Dirk Diggler most pats fans weren't close to alive when he played so what's your point

Patriots "fans" today only know players from maybe 2011 & up. it's annoying because th patriots get a lot of bandwagons because they're so good. people need to stfu because when the patriots eventually suck ass there will be a 50% drop off of patriots fans

Dirk Diggler I honestly didn't learn too much about football till a couple years ago and the main reason the pats are my favorite team is because I'm from the New England Area

+IDChipoodle What part of NE do you hail from?

Dirk Diggler No shit he's a fucking lineman

No, most fans who started watching after '85 don't know how great he was.

Elias Johnson no

Elias Johnson I did not know either, but I know almost every other Patriot ever

Elias Johnson U cant be a diehard and not know who John Hanna is.

Will E. Well I do now

Dam that sucks ,hard fan only know this guy than

that's pretty pathetic that you don't care enough to know your own team's history and one of it's greatest players.

JoshLikeCrazy W.

Facts

Lmao W

K, jags fan.

Evan Andrus lol

Every bandwagon Pats fan maybe. The lifers know EXACTLY who John Hannah is.

Roy The Game W.

i'm a bears fan but i think we have found one of the rarest species creatures on the planet the Jaguars fan

14 game season back then

Yo boi Gavin my ass

Cause that defense was roided the fuck up

Hugo yeah sure tell yourself that.

Captain Spartan 04 Dude everyone fucking knows about it, roids were legal at that time, don't be mad at your team's history.

Hugo yeah jack ham , jack Lambert , mean Joe Greene , Ernie Holmes , Dwight white , lc greenwood , Donnie shell , mel blount didn't take steroids. If they would've then the Steelers be relevant before the 70s.

Yet Hannah played from 73 to 85. He was around to have run into the dynasty that was the Steelers of the 70s, 4 rings and pumped with roids. Why does Hannah come into this? Because your initial comment was about why there were no highlights against the Steelers. That's why. So anything you said regarding players and its team being relevant before the 70s IF they took steroids doesn't even matter because we're talking about a player who was around the time the Steelers were injecting and winning rings.

Gary Matlock you can't compare the two. One played guard while the other plays tight end

Both GOATs at their positions.

Hannah is. Tony Gonzalez is the GOAT of Tight Ends.

Yep

81overon who? Lmao

Leon Gray had a couple of good years but certainly wasn't greater - not nearly as nimble. When they played together, they would just cave in the left side of the defense.

Leon Gray wasn't fit to wipe John Hannah's ass
