Nice article on one of our more understated stars.

New England Patriots OT Sebastian Vollmer is the best lineman you've never heard of - ESPN

Quote:

Vollmer is not as recognizable as quarterback Tom Brady or defensive lineman Vince Wilfork, but he's quietly making his mark on the NFL. The problem Vollmer has is that few fans outside of New England actually have been noticing that. Vollmer is the best offensive lineman most people don't know anything about.

Nice find, thanks for sharing that.

Here's hoping that Vollmer stays around for a very long time, and remains a staple on the o-line of the future.

Always liked that guy, unless its an LT all O-Line positions are underrated. I hope he'll stay with us for long time.

A lineman that you never hear from, is a lineman that is doing his job properly.

I thought he could have made the pro bowl last year. He mauled L. Woodley in Pittsburgh. Stoned Clay Matthews Jr a couple of times and Green Bay just stopped blitzing the POY.

The guy makes great pancakes.

If Solder turns out to be another star lineman and the Pats can get Mankins a long term deal, this line is going to be sick for a long time. With Dante's ability to coach guys up I have not doubt in my mind that TFB is going to be very well protected for the rest of his career...

Remember he completely shut down Robert Mathis. Matthis was the one always molesting Nick "can't block a marshmallow" Kazcur.

When I did the Colts video, I kept an eye out for Vollmer and I recall that he only got semi beat twice but by that time, the ball was out of Brady's hands.
