With OG1 now out of the way, let’s go back to the poll and figure out who will join him as OG2!
Goff did not start his career with the Chargers but he sure had his best years as a professional with in San Diego. After six years with the Bengals, Goff joined the Bolts in 2004 and quickly became an impactful veteran presence.
In his first year, he started at right guard between center Nick Hardwick and right tackle Shane Olivia, both of whom were rookies. In 2005, he was named a First-Team All-Pro by Sports Illustrated.
In all, Goff started all 16 games in each of his five seasons with the Chargers.
The Chargers selected Vasquez in the third round of the 2009 NFL Draft. He won the starting right guard job as a rookie and never looked back, holding it down through his entire tenure with the team.
While he was with the Chargers, Vasquez started every game he played in, totaling 54 with 10 missed to injuries. He would go on to become an All-Pro for the Broncos in 2013 and help them win Super Bowl 50 over the Carolina Panthers.
