Nate Solder having a Pro Bowl Year
 
This man has been dominant at LT and appears to be getting better and better each game. I think as of right now, Solder has only given up 2 sacks in 12 games. I believe he should get Pro Bowl consideration, he's been that good over on that left side.

Usually the offensive line for the Pro Bowl is the known names.

So Joe Thomas & D'Brickashaw Ferguson for LT & Mankins probably getting in at guard.

Both Solder & Vollmer have been pretty great this year too and that's made all the more impressive by revolving door of players at the guard spots.

Mankins doesn't even have to play let alone well to get in these days...

The very nature of the pro bowl for OL is sort of wonky... if an O-Lineman plays a PERFECT season, you probably wouldn't even remember his name.

It's funny how little Solder has been talked about as a draft choice. Here's the full 2011 draft:

Almost two seasons later, is there ANYONE you would rather have from pick 19 on in place of our franchise LT?

Solder was such a smart pick!!!
He's protected the franchise beautifully.
