Hello everybody!
Welcome back to my historical Offensive Lineman work where I will utilise a points system that will tell me who the greatest Offensive Lineman are of all time. This list is only compromised of humans and the stats were taken at the end of Season 30. Another thing to note is that you only received credit for events if you were an Offensive Lineman.
Points System
The points system used is:
- 0.1 Points per Pancake
- -1 Point per Sack
- 62 Points for 1st in Pancakes, 61.5 for 2nd, all the way down to 0.5 for 124th and 0 for 125th
- 5 Points Per Season Played
- 10 Points for Winning an Ultimus
- 15 Points for making a Pro Bowl
- 30 Points for an Offensive Lineman of the Year Award
- 50 Points for a Most Valuable Player/ Most Outstanding Player/ Offensive Player of the Year
- 100 Points for being a Hall of Famer [The points are pro-rata’d for the amount of time the player spent as an Offensive Lineman, for example someone who spent half their career as an Offensive Lineman would get 50 points of the 100]
Other Information
Now, before we get into the full rankings, I need to bring something else up. For complete fairness, I went and awarded Pro Bowl spots as well as Offensive Lineman of the Year in seasons where those awards were not. I chose who won those spots with who had the most pancakes, with 10 taken off per sack allowed. Having a set system allows for less bias Let me run through what I added
S4 Pro Bowl – 5 Offensive Lineman Played. 3 of them were awarded Pro Bowl Honours
S14 Pro Bowl – There was 1 Offensive Lineman from each conference. Both of them were awarded Pro Bowl Honours
S16 Pro Bowl – There was 1 Offensive Lineman and he gets Pro Bowl Honours by default
S17 Pro Bowl – There was 1 Offensive Lineman and he gets Pro Bowl Honours by default
S18 Pro Bowl – There were 4 Offensive Lineman, 2 from each conference. The top OL from each conference gets Pro Bowl Honours
S19 Pro Bowl – There were 5 Offensive Lineman, 3 from one conference and 2 from the other. 2 lineman from the conference of 3 get Pro Bowl and 1 from the conference of 2.
S20 Pro Bowl – There were 5 Offensive Lineman, all from the same conference. 3 of them will get Pro Bowl Honours
S21 Pro Bowl – There were 4 Offensive Lineman, all from the same conference. 2 of them will get Pro Bowl Honours.
S4 OLOTY – Was given to a bot. I corrected this and gave it to a human
S14, S16 and S17. OLOTY were not given out so I did the honours.

Rankings
100th: Antonio Sandoval [21.7 Points]
Drafted: Season 3, Pick 1
Teams Played for: Colorado Yeti
- 2 Seasons Played
- 72 Pancakes [92nd]
- 12 Sacks Allowed
The man at the bottom of the top 100, Antonio Sandoval was the first overall pick in season 3. He played 2 poor seasons and his high number of sacks allowed, push his overall position down 8 places from his pancake position.
99th: Connor Macmanus [22.7 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 64
Teams Played for: San Jose Sabercats, Arizona Outlaws
- Season 2 Ultimus Champion [Arizona Outlaws]
- 2 Seasons Played
- 42 Pancakes [112th]
- 8 Sacks Allowed
Connor was a man for lucked into a ring after being drafted by the dominant yet controversial early season Arizona Outlaws. His play otherwise was especially poor but his ring boost him up the list 13 places from where his pancakes put him.
98th: Tyron Smith [24.5 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 29
Teams Played for: Yellowknife Wraiths, Colorado Yeti
- 2 Seasons Played
- 70 Pancakes [94th]
- 8 Sacks Allowed
Tyron Smith, named after the Left Tackle stalwart for the Dallas Cowboys, had 2 average seasons as an Offensive Lineman, racking up an average amount of pancakes for the time. No accolades however, see Tyron drop 4 places from his pancake rating.
97th: Cheese Farley [25.8 Points]
Drafted: Season 27, Pick 32
Teams Played for: Berlin Fire Salamanders
- 1 Season Played
- 63 Pancakes [96th]
- 0 Sacks Allowed
A player still making his way through his career, Cheese has only played 1 season at the time the statistics were taken for the list. That one seasons was below-average in terms of pancakes, especially in the modern era but he did get through it with no sacks allowed. A rare accomplishment for someone in their rookie seasons.
96th: Gadget Tech [26.7 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 63
Teams Played for: Colorado Yeti, San Jose Sabercats
- 3 Seasons Played
- 107 Pancakes [77th]
- 23 Sacks Allowed
Gadget Tech played 3 poor seasons but as a result of his longevity, ended up as 77th all time in pancakes. However, achieving one of the highest sacks allowed totals in ISFL history drops him down 19 places from his pancakes rating to 96th overall. An interesting career.
95th: Sammy Walters [27.6 Points]
Drafted: Season 3, Pick 29
Teams Played for: Arizona Outlaws, Philadelphia Liberty
- Season 2 Ultimus Champion [Arizona Outlaws]
- 2 Seasons Played
- 76 Pancakes [89th]
- 18 Sacks Allowed
Sammy benefited from being part of the Arizona Outlaws Ultimus winning side in season 2 when he was part of the side as a result of being picked up on waivers. Aside from that, he let in a lot of sacks allowed and performed just above his ranking in pancakes.
94th: Bernie Sanders [27.9 Points]
Drafted: Season 30, Pick 17.
Teams Played for: Arizona Outlaws
- 1 Season Played
- 79 Pancakes [87th]
- 4 Sacks Allowed
The next generation of Offensive Lineman from the king of OL, Cal. Bernie’s debut season was a mixed bag with an above average amount of Pancakes for an interior lineman but also allowing 4 sacks, one of the most on the season. Whether he will end up like the legendary Rubbe will be a question that is answered in due time.
93rd: Busters Brownce [28 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 72
Teams Played for: Yellowknife Wraiths, San Jose Sabercats
- 3 Seasons Played
- 75 Pancakes [90th]
- 12 Sacks Allowed
Busters longevity [in comparison to early season OL] gives a post to his career score that was taken away by the 12 sacks he allowed throughout the 3 seasons allowed. As a result of all this, he finds himself 93rd all time, 3 places below his pancake rating of 90th.
92nd: Brokk Lee [29.1 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 10
Teams Played for: Baltimore Hawks
- 2 Seasons Played
- 81 Pancakes [85th]
- 9 Sacks Allowed
Brokk was probably the worst part of the worst scandal in the early years of the ISFL/NSFL. This is of course referring to the ER multi scandal. Brokk went to the wrong team in the eyes of ER who was also Brokk so as a result, ER faked Brokk having cancer so he can abandon this account. 2 average seasons see Brokk end up 92nd on this list.
91st: Keane Lover [30.2 Points]
Drafted: Season 29, Pick 24
Teams Played for: Sarasota Sailfish
- Season 30 Ultimus Champions [Sarasota Sailfish]
- 1 Season Played
- 62 Pancakes [97th]
- 5 Sacks Allowed
Keane has played 1 poor season in their career so far but it has coincided with the Sarasota Sailfish’s successful season 30 campaign that resulted in an Ultimus victory. Keane still has a long road to go in their career so seeing where they end up will be an interesting thing to keep an eye on.
90th: Bob Roberts [31.3 Points]
Drafted: Season 25, Pick 41
Teams Played for: New York Silverbacks
- 1 Season Played
- 78 Pancakes [88th]
- 0 Sacks Allowed
Yuck, zayn. Zayn position switched to an OL for season 30 and as a result only benefits from accolades in Season 30, meaning the Silverbacks Ultimus win in season 29 does not get accredited to Bob Roberts career accolades on this list. His 1 seasons that does count was a decent one where he recorded average pancakes and didn’t allow a sack. With only limited time to pick up accolades, how far can Zane make it up the list?
89th: Braden Sharp [33.9 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 67
Teams Played for: Arizona Outlaws, San Jose Sabercats
- Season 1 Ultimus Champion [Arizona Outlaws]
- 4 Seasons Played
- 94 Pancakes [82nd]
- 27 Sacks Allowed
An all around mixed bag here. Sharp has a decent longevity, playing the maximum amount of seasons an early generation offensive lineman could play. He also picked up an Ultimus Championship as a waiver pickup with the Arizona Outlaws in season 1. However, he also allowed an extremely high amount of sacks, one of the most all time. When it all shakes out, Sharp ends up at 89th on the list.
88th: Emperor de Pengu [37.2 Points]
Drafted: Season 29, Pick 21
Teams Played for: Colorado Yeti
- Season 30 Pro Bowler
- 1 Season Played
- 62 Pancakes [97th]
- 3 Sacks Allowed
De Pengu has a special honour on this list, a honour that is both good and bad. He’s a Pro Bowler but he is also the lineman with the lowest spot on the list that has achieved a Pro Bowl. A below average season otherwise leads to de Pengu ending up as 88th on this list.
87th: Ma Goomba [38.1 Points]
Drafted: Season 14, Pick 19
Teams Played for: Arizona Outlaws
- Season 14 Pro Bowler**
- 3 Seasons Played
- 46 Pancakes [108th]
- 5 Sacks Allowed
Back to Back Pro Bowlers here with Ma Goomba beating out Emperor de Pengu. Goomba picked up a Pro Bowl in S14 that I awarded to him myself so it isn’t an official title. Looking at the stats more, there are 3 seasons with low pancake totals so he benefits a lot with the small amount of sacks and the award boosting him higher in the standing.
86th: Matt James [39.1 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 42
Teams Played for: Yellowknife Wraiths
- Season 2 Pro Bowler
- 2 Seasons Played
- 81 Pancakes [85th]
- 14 Sacks Allowed
Matt James is another interesting segment of the ER multi web. He got drafted to the Philadelphia Liberty but held out in a move to try and get to Arizona. That failed and he ended up playing his career in Yellowknife. Picking up a Pro Bowl in season 2 in a sea of poor seasons, James finds himself 86th in the OL rankings.
85th: Daniel Robicheaux [39.3 Points]
Drafted: Season 1, Pick 40
Teams Played for: San Jose Sabercats, Colorado Yeti
- Season 1 Pro Bowler
- 2 Seasons Played
- 93 Pancakes [83rd]
- 16 Sacks Allowed
Robicheaux performed extremely well in season 1, picking up a Pro Bowl honour at the end of the season. This was a stark contrast to his performance in season 2 where he picked up 36 pancakes and 13 sacks allowed, an extremely poor season. These sacks had a bigger outcome on his career point total then his Pro Bowl leaving him in 85th.
84th: Jordan Weal [40 Points]
Drafted: Season 1, Pick 44
Teams Played for: Baltimore Hawks, Las Vegas Legion
- Season 1 Pro Bowler
- 2 Seasons Played
- 75 Pancakes [90th]
- 10 Sacks Allowed
Jordan Weal is a similar story to the 85th ranked Robicheaux. They were drafted very close to another, had an above average season 1 that resulted in a pro bowl and finished it off with a poor season 2. The lower amount of sacks Weal allowed, got him above Robicheaux in the list.
83rd: Moe Skeeter [40.3 Points]
Drafted: Season 26, Pick 9
Teams Played for: Austin Copperheads
- 2 Seasons Played
- 108 Pancakes [76th]
- 5 Sacks Allowed
Moe Skeeter is coming towards the end of his progression cycle, with regression right around the corner meaning his progression up this list may be minimal. He’s seasons so far have been average but his lack of accolades see him drop from his pancake ranking of 76th down to his overall ranking of 83rd.
82nd: Sirdsvaldis Miglaskems [41 Points]
Drafted: Season 26, Pick 39
Teams Played for: Honolulu Hahalua
- 2 Seasons Played
- 110 Pancakes [75th]
- 5 Sacks Allowed
Miglaskems is extremely similar to the 83rd ranked Skeeter, the only difference between them is 2 rankings which attributes the 0.7 ranking points between them. 0.2 for the pancakes and 0.5 for the ranking difference. The Skeeter vs Miglaskems rivalry could be something to follow throughout the latter half of their career.
81st: Dieter Koch [42.1 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 27
Teams Played for: Baltimore Hawks
- Season 2 Pro Bowler
- 2 Seasons Played
- 96 Pancakes [80th]
- 15 Sacks Allowed
Koch racked up a Pro Bowl in seasons 2 but also had 15 sacks allowed throughout his career, effectively cancelling each other out in terms of career points for his ranking. As a result his pancake rating of 80th is extremely reflective of his overall ranking of 81st.
80th: Tim Tebow [43.1 Points]
Drafted: Season 1. Pick 117
Teams Played for: San Jose Sabercats, Las Vegas Legion
- Season 1 Pro Bowler
- 3 Seasons Played
- 116 Pancakes [72nd]
- 25 Sacks Allowed
The Legend, The GOAT, Timothy Tebow. Tebow picked up a Pro Bowl in season 1 but followed that up with 2 seasons with double digit sacks allowed that plummet his overall rankings down. His above-average 3 seasons played push him up further. The Pro Bowl, 3 seasons played and 72nd pancake ranking meant Tebow should be higher then 80th but his sacks bring him back down to Earth.
79th: Bender Rodriguez [43.5 Points]
Drafted: Season 1, Pick 34
Teams Played for: Colorado Yeti, Yellowknife Wraiths
- Season 1 Pro Bowler
- 3 Seasons Played
- 125 Pancakes [69th]
- 27 Sacks Allowed
Bender followed a similar career trajectory to the 80th ranked Tim Tebow. An above average first season that resulted in a Pro Bowl followed by 2 poor seasons with double digt sacks allowed in each season. His 69th pancake ranking boosts him up the board but his negatives drop him back to 79th all time.
78th: Quentin Button [46.2 Points]
Drafted: Season 24, Pick 7.
Teams Played for: Colorado Yeti
- 2 Seasons Played
- 127 Pancakes [66th]
- 6 Sacks Allowed
Quinten Button position switched in the peak of his career and is now playing his career as an Offensive Lineman for the Colorado Yeti. He hasn’t picked up any accolades yet but as had 2 average seasons so far. His 6 sacks allowed and lack of accolades see him ranked 78th when his pancakes rate him 66th.
77th: Shjom Finkenlarkin [48.1 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 61
Teams Played for: Philadelphia Liberty, Colorado Yeti
- Season 3 Pro Bowler
- 2 Seasons Played
- 96 Pancakes [80th]
- 9 Sacks Allowed
Finkerlakin ended up with an average career but his Season 3 performance allowed him to pick up a Pro Bowl honour. His pancake ranking is quite reflective of his overall ranking with only 2 places separating it.
76th: D’Brickashaw Ferguson [49 Points]
Drafted: Season 1, Pick 86
Teams Played for: Yellowknife Wraiths, Orange County Otters
- Season 1 Pro Bowler
- 3 Seasons Played
- 125 Pancakes [69th]
- 22 Sacks Allowed
A few poor seasons for Ferguson, that also included a Pro Bowl odd in the inaugural season of the league. His 3 seasons and Pro Bowl as well as above-average pancake stats for the era see him rise up the overall rankings. However, his 22 sacks allowed see him drop from his pancake ranking of 69th to his overall ranking of 76th
75th: Saggitariutt Jefferspin [52.1 Points]
Drafted: Season 1, Pick 67
Teams Played for: Arizona Outlaws, Las Vegas Legion
- Season 1 Ultimus Champion [Arizona Outlaws]
- 3 Seasons Played
- 131 Pancakes [65th]
- 16 Sacks Allowed
Jefferspin was the second last offensive lineman taken in the inaugural draft but hit the jackpot as he was drafted into the Arizona Outlaws who won the championship in that season. 3 average to poor seasons left Jefferspin at 16 sacks allowed, a statistic that dropped him to 75th in the OL rankings, down from his pancake ranking of 65th
74th: Marcus Boyd [53.5 Points]
Drafted: Season 1, Pick 61
Teams Played for: Orange County Otters, Philadelphia Liberty
- Season 1 Pro Bowler
- 3 Seasons Played
- 99 Pancakes [79th]
- 9 Sacks Allowed
Marcus Boyd had a great start to his career racking up a Pro Bowl honour in season 1. The seasons after were quite poor and a lack of pancakes see Boyd only make it 74th on this list. Which is up 5 places from his pancake ranking of 79th.
73rd: Scott Timlin [54.1 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 24
Teams Played for: Arizona Outlaws
- Season 1 Ultimus Champion [Arizona Outlaws]
- Season 2 Ultimus Champion [Arizona Outlaws]
- Season 3 Ultimus Champion [Arizona Outlaws]
- 3 Seasons Played
- 71 Pancakes [93rd]
- 14 Sacks Allowed
Scotty Timlin could be what some consider lucky. He played 3 seasons as an Offensive Lineman, all for the Arizona Outlaws during their dominating run in the early seasons of the league. Scotty played 3 below average seasons which resulted in Timlin ranking 93rd all time for pancakes, a place 20 spots lower then his overall ranking of 73rd.
72nd: Manhatten Project [54.2 Points]
Drafted: Season 28, Pick 11
Teams Played for: Colorado Yeti
- 2 Seasons Played
- 127 Pancakes [66th]
- 3 Sacks Allowed
Project was a first round pick for the Yeti who has so far produced 2 average seasons, especially in the increased pancake era of the new sim engine. With plenty of time left in his career, Project can surely go further up this leaderboard.
71st: Cade Williams [54.7 Points]
Drafted: Season 28, Pick 13
Teams Played for: New Orleans Second Line
- 2 Seasons Played
- 142 Pancakes [60th]
- 2 Sacks Allowed
Cade was drafted 2 position after Manhatten Project but finds himself above him in this list. His greater pancake numbers then Project as well as allowing fewer sacks. A greater start to the career for Williams but the battle between Williams and Project will only go on and increase as they continue their early careers.
70th: Joey McCabe [55.8 Points]
Drafted: Season 22, Pick 68
Teams Played for: Sarasota Sailfish, Berlin Fire Salamanders
- 3 Seasons Played
- 168 Pancakes [51st]
- 13 Sacks Allowed
McCabe is our first representative from the Season 22 Draft on this list, the biggest and most influential draft class in recent ISFL history. McCabe also has a part in this history, being a part of the expansion Sarasota Sailfish as well as the expansion Berlin Fire Salamanders. 3 seasons average pancake numbers see him get 51st on the pancake ranking but his sacks allowed and lack of accolades drop him to 70th in the overall rankings
69th: Maiteers Rico-Shea [56.4 Points]
Drafted: Season 26, Pick 30
Teams Played for: Orange County Otters
- 2 Seasons Played
- 149 Pancakes [56th]
- 3 Sacks Allowed
Could it be more perfect that the 69th best Offensive Lineman of all time is Beaver? Rico-Shea started late after being a full termer in the DSFL but has produced 2 good seasons so far and could see himself rise up this leader board further. Accolades would be required for rapid rises but his final position should dramatically increase as Rico-Shea plays further seasons.
68th: Jay Cue [57.4 Points]
Drafted: Season 18, Pick 18
Teams Played for: Arizona Outlaws
- Season 27 Pro Bowler
- 1 Season Played
- 114 Pancakes [73rd]
- 0 Sacks Allowed
Jay Cue was a legendary quarterback for the Arizona Outalws and when his arm failed him, he bulked up and moved to the Offensive Line for his farewell season. His one season on the well was great, picking up a Pro Bowl, triple digit pancakes and not allowing a single sack. Its almost a question of what if? Could Jay Cue have been a more successful Offensive Lineman? He was a damn good quarterback but what if?
67th: James Gath [58.9 Points]
Drafted: Season 25, Pick 9
Teams Played for: Chicago Butchers
- 3 Seasons Played
- 154 Pancakes [54th]
- 7 Sacks Allowed
Gath was a highly touted cornerback going into the ISFL draft but a drop off in earning saw a switch to the Offensive Line. So far in his career he hasn’t picked up any accolades and has had 3 average seasons in the big league. With the peak of his career probably over, Gath’s rising in this list may be limited.
66th: Ben Longshaw [60.7 Points]
Drafted: Season 1, Pick 16
Teams Played for: San Jose Sabercats
- Season 2 Pro Bowler
- 3 Seasons Played
- 157 Pancakes [53rd]
- 21 Sacks Allowed
Longshaw holds a significant place in the history of Offensive Lineman as he was the first one taken in the inaugural draft at pick 16. Throughout his 3 seasons as an OL, he racked up quite a few sacks allowed, a decent amount of pancakes for the time as well as a Pro Bowl honour in Season 2. His pancake rating of 53rd is 13 places higher then his overall ranking due to his sacks allowed.
65th: Cliff Hamilton [61.4 Points]
Drafted: Season 1, Pick 109
Teams Played for: Orange County Otters
- Season 1 Pro Bowler
- 3 Seasons Played
- 134 Pancakes [61st]
- 14 Sacks Allowed
Cliff Hamilton was drafted in Season 1 as a quarterback but became an Offensive Lineman before even stepping onto an ISFL field. This turned into a great move as Hamilton was a Pro Bowler in the Inaugural ISFL season. His pancake rating and his overall ranking are close to one another as well with only a difference of 4.
64th: Greg Clegane [62.4 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 6
Teams Played for: Orange County Otters
- Season 3 Pro Bowler
- 3 Seasons Played
- 144 Pancakes [59th]
- 15 Sacks Allowed
Clegane was picked in the first round of Season 2 and ended up playing for 3 seasons in the early history of the ISFL. His high sack numbers push his ranking down but he did peak in Season 3 where he picked up Pro Bowl honours.
63rd: Vincent Sharpei [66.3 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 4
Teams Played for: Baltimore Hawks, San Jose Sabercats
- Season 2 Pro Bowler
- Season 3 Pro Bowler
- 3 Seasons Played
- 148 Pancakes [58th]
- 27 Sacks Allowed
Sharpei picked up 2 Pro Bowls during his career for the Sabercats along with a lot of sacks allowed. His son Vincent Sharpei Jr, recently entered the league as a wide receiver. Picking up accolades along the way but allowing a lot of sacks lead to Sharpei dropping below his pancake ranking.
62nd: Perry Tucker Jr. [66.8 Points]
Drafted: Season 21, Pick 30
Teams Played for: Chicago Butchers
- 5 Seasons Played
- 173 Pancakes [50th]
- 13 Sacks Allowed
Perry played for 5 seasons as an Offensive Lineman, including lining up at Fullback at times. He had low pancake numbers and allowed quite a few sacks but his longevity in his position allowed him to move up further then players around. This longevity led to a 50th placed pancake ranking as well.
61st: Caden Bright [67.7 Points]
Drafted: Season 18, Pick 46
Teams Played for: Chicago Butchers
- Season 18 Pro Bowler**
- Season 19 Pro Bowler**
- 2 Seasons Played
- 102 Pancakes [78th]
- 6 Sacks Allowed
Caden played in an era where the OL were seen as irresponsible and a joke and as a result, no awards and accolades were given out. I’ve rectified this and given Bright 2 Pro Bowls he should’ve earned. His 2 average seasons only see him 78th in pancakes but his new Pro Bowl accolades see him up to 61st overall
60th: Avon Blocksdale [67.8 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 28
Teams Played for: Baltimore Hawks
- ISFL Hall of Famer [2 of 11 Season = 18%]
- Season 3 Pro Bowler
- 2 Seasons Played
- 91 Pancakes [84th]
- 5 Sacks Allowed
Blocksdale is a Hall of Famer in this league but his time as an OL was minimal, with it only being 2 of his 11 seasons. His 2 seasons of OL play did lead to a Pro Bowl in Season 2 but they were pretty ordinary overall. His play outside of the OL boosted him up the rankings. Blocksdale finishes 24 spots higher then his pancakes ranking of 84th.
59th: Richard Littlewood [68.1]
Drafted: Season 26, Pick 35
Teams Played for: Honolulu Hahalua, New Orleans Second Line
- 5 Seasons Played
- 256 Pancakes [38th]
- 26 Sacks Allowed
Littlewood’s career has been marred by really poor seasons, full of sacks allowed. His rookie season was poor when he allowed 7 sacks but he’s S29 season was ever worse when he allowed 9 sacks, leading to him not getting picked up in Season 30. Picked up a NOLA contract in S31 but that season doesn’t impact our list. His pancake total gets him into 38th in the pancake ranking but his lack of accolades and high sack total, lead to him ended up 59th on the overall rankings.
58th: Harley Fank [68.3 Points]
Drafted: Season 25, Pick 53
Teams Played for: New York Silverbacks
- Season 29 Ultimus Champion [New York Silverbacks]
- 2 Seasons Played
- 158 Pancakes [52nd]
- 4 Sacks Allowed
Harley started his career as a Wide Receiver but transitioned into an Offensive Lineman recently. His 2 seasons at the position so far have been slightly above average but not extraordinary. He was a part of the Offensive Line that won the Ultimus Championship in Season 29. His pancake ranking is a couple of places higher then his overall ranking of 58th.
56th: Blake McCargue [70 Points]
Drafted: Season 13, Pick 5
Teams Played for: Philadelphia Liberty
- Season 14 Offensive Lineman of the Year**
- Season 14 Pro Bowler**
- 1 Season Played
- 19 Pancakes [123rd]
- 0 Sacks Allowed
McCargue is someone who benefitted from the ‘every season deserves awards’ theory I have instituted in these rankings. He was the best of 2 players that played offensive line in season 14 and as a result picked up Pro Bowl and Awards honours in season 14. His 1 season of very low pancake numbers gave him the 3rd fewest amount of pancakes by a human offensive lineman, but not allowing a sack and picking up awards, almost be default seems him rocket up from his pancake ranking.
56th: Gluteus Maximus [70 Points]
Drafted: Season 26, Pick 44
Teams Played for: Austin Copperheads
- 2 Seasons Played
- 205 Pancakes [42nd]
- 2 Sacks Allowed
Gluteus Maximus is gearing up for his peak seasons after having a decent first 2 seasons for the Austin Copperheads. Averaging over 100 pancakes per seasons has him 42nd in pancakes overall but a lack of accolades see him end up in 56th overall all time.
55th: Pat Pancake [71.3 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 68
Teams Played for: Baltimore Hawks, Arizona Outlaws
- Season 4 Pro Bowler
- Season 3 Ultimus Champion [Arizona Outlaws]
- 3 Seasons Played
- 133 Pancakes [63rd]
- 13 Sacks Allowed
Pancake benefitted from some outside factors in terms of his overall ranking. He pick up a Pro Bowl in season 4 when there were minimal Offensive Lineman playing and picked up an Ultimus in season 3 when he joined all the other multi’s in Arizona who were on there 3 win streak in the Ultimus. Overall his pancakes rank him around this position but his accolades boost him up and his above average sacks allowed bring him back down.
54th: Micah Hendrix [71.4 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 8
Teams Played for: Philadelphia Liberty
- Season 2 Pro Bowler
- Season 3 Pro Bowler
- 2 Seasons Played
- 114 Pancakes [73rd]
- 6 Sacks Allowed
Micah played 2 seasons at Offensive Line and had decent seasons both times out, picking up a Pro Bowl honour in both of these seasons. He racked up these accolade points which boosted him almost 20 spots higher on the overall rankings then his pancake rating of 73rd. His lack of longevity seems him not move up higher in the list.
53rd: Carl Wheezer [71.8 Points]
Drafted: Season 23, Pick 23
Teams Played for: Orange County Otters, Honolulu Hahalua
- 4 Seasons Played
- 193 Pancakes [44th]
- 8 Sacks Allowed
Wheezer played 4 ordinary seasons on the offensive lines of Orange County and Honolulu. He didn’t rack up many pancakes, averaging under 50 pancakes per seasons. However his longevity which puts him above average for OL see his overall pancake ranking sit at 44th. Not picking up any accolades and allowing a few sacks per season see his overall ranking drop 9 places from his pancake ranking.
52nd: Samuel Bakhtiari [73.3 Points]
Drafted: Season 18, Pick 28
Teams Played for: Arizona Outlaws, Sarasota Sailfish, Austin Copperheads
- 5 Seasons Played
- 273 Pancakes [31st]
- 26 Sacks Allowed
Bakhtiari follows a similar trajectory to Carl Wheezer. 5 ordinary seasons with multiple teams. Averaging around 55 pancakes a season. His longevity sees him rocket up the list overall and for pancakes. However, Bakhtiari allowed 26 sacks, one of the most all time. His high sack numbers and lack of accolades seem him drop 21 places from his pancake ranking of 31st to his overall ranking of 52nd.
51st: Lord Beerus [73.9 Points]
Drafted: Season 19, Pick 5
Teams Played for: Orange County Otters, New York Silverbacks
- 4 Seasons Played
- 189 Pancakes [47th]
- 4 Sacks Allowed
Lord Beerus, Kasey Dream, New York Silverbacks Legend. Beerus follows the same trajectory as the previous 2 entrants into this list. Decent longevity, average under 50 pancakes per season and no accolades. His fewer sacks allowed push him above Wheezer and Bakhtiari. His pancake ranking ends up being reflective of his overall ranking with only 4 places difference.
Conclusion
That’s the next 50 for the list! Stay tuned for next time when we might find out who the number 1 Offensive Lineman is [As of Season 30].
Welcome back to my historical Offensive Lineman work where I will utilise a points system that will tell me who the greatest Offensive Lineman are of all time. This list is only compromised of humans and the stats were taken at the end of Season 30. Another thing to note is that you only received credit for events if you were an Offensive Lineman.
Points System
The points system used is:
- 0.1 Points per Pancake
- -1 Point per Sack
- 62 Points for 1st in Pancakes, 61.5 for 2nd, all the way down to 0.5 for 124th and 0 for 125th
- 5 Points Per Season Played
- 10 Points for Winning an Ultimus
- 15 Points for making a Pro Bowl
- 30 Points for an Offensive Lineman of the Year Award
- 50 Points for a Most Valuable Player/ Most Outstanding Player/ Offensive Player of the Year
- 100 Points for being a Hall of Famer [The points are pro-rata’d for the amount of time the player spent as an Offensive Lineman, for example someone who spent half their career as an Offensive Lineman would get 50 points of the 100]
Other Information
Now, before we get into the full rankings, I need to bring something else up. For complete fairness, I went and awarded Pro Bowl spots as well as Offensive Lineman of the Year in seasons where those awards were not. I chose who won those spots with who had the most pancakes, with 10 taken off per sack allowed. Having a set system allows for less bias Let me run through what I added
S4 Pro Bowl – 5 Offensive Lineman Played. 3 of them were awarded Pro Bowl Honours
S14 Pro Bowl – There was 1 Offensive Lineman from each conference. Both of them were awarded Pro Bowl Honours
S16 Pro Bowl – There was 1 Offensive Lineman and he gets Pro Bowl Honours by default
S17 Pro Bowl – There was 1 Offensive Lineman and he gets Pro Bowl Honours by default
S18 Pro Bowl – There were 4 Offensive Lineman, 2 from each conference. The top OL from each conference gets Pro Bowl Honours
S19 Pro Bowl – There were 5 Offensive Lineman, 3 from one conference and 2 from the other. 2 lineman from the conference of 3 get Pro Bowl and 1 from the conference of 2.
S20 Pro Bowl – There were 5 Offensive Lineman, all from the same conference. 3 of them will get Pro Bowl Honours
S21 Pro Bowl – There were 4 Offensive Lineman, all from the same conference. 2 of them will get Pro Bowl Honours.
S4 OLOTY – Was given to a bot. I corrected this and gave it to a human
S14, S16 and S17. OLOTY were not given out so I did the honours.

Rankings
100th: Antonio Sandoval [21.7 Points]
Drafted: Season 3, Pick 1
Teams Played for: Colorado Yeti
- 2 Seasons Played
- 72 Pancakes [92nd]
- 12 Sacks Allowed
The man at the bottom of the top 100, Antonio Sandoval was the first overall pick in season 3. He played 2 poor seasons and his high number of sacks allowed, push his overall position down 8 places from his pancake position.
99th: Connor Macmanus [22.7 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 64
Teams Played for: San Jose Sabercats, Arizona Outlaws
- Season 2 Ultimus Champion [Arizona Outlaws]
- 2 Seasons Played
- 42 Pancakes [112th]
- 8 Sacks Allowed
Connor was a man for lucked into a ring after being drafted by the dominant yet controversial early season Arizona Outlaws. His play otherwise was especially poor but his ring boost him up the list 13 places from where his pancakes put him.
98th: Tyron Smith [24.5 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 29
Teams Played for: Yellowknife Wraiths, Colorado Yeti
- 2 Seasons Played
- 70 Pancakes [94th]
- 8 Sacks Allowed
Tyron Smith, named after the Left Tackle stalwart for the Dallas Cowboys, had 2 average seasons as an Offensive Lineman, racking up an average amount of pancakes for the time. No accolades however, see Tyron drop 4 places from his pancake rating.
97th: Cheese Farley [25.8 Points]
Drafted: Season 27, Pick 32
Teams Played for: Berlin Fire Salamanders
- 1 Season Played
- 63 Pancakes [96th]
- 0 Sacks Allowed
A player still making his way through his career, Cheese has only played 1 season at the time the statistics were taken for the list. That one seasons was below-average in terms of pancakes, especially in the modern era but he did get through it with no sacks allowed. A rare accomplishment for someone in their rookie seasons.
96th: Gadget Tech [26.7 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 63
Teams Played for: Colorado Yeti, San Jose Sabercats
- 3 Seasons Played
- 107 Pancakes [77th]
- 23 Sacks Allowed
Gadget Tech played 3 poor seasons but as a result of his longevity, ended up as 77th all time in pancakes. However, achieving one of the highest sacks allowed totals in ISFL history drops him down 19 places from his pancakes rating to 96th overall. An interesting career.
95th: Sammy Walters [27.6 Points]
Drafted: Season 3, Pick 29
Teams Played for: Arizona Outlaws, Philadelphia Liberty
- Season 2 Ultimus Champion [Arizona Outlaws]
- 2 Seasons Played
- 76 Pancakes [89th]
- 18 Sacks Allowed
Sammy benefited from being part of the Arizona Outlaws Ultimus winning side in season 2 when he was part of the side as a result of being picked up on waivers. Aside from that, he let in a lot of sacks allowed and performed just above his ranking in pancakes.
94th: Bernie Sanders [27.9 Points]
Drafted: Season 30, Pick 17.
Teams Played for: Arizona Outlaws
- 1 Season Played
- 79 Pancakes [87th]
- 4 Sacks Allowed
The next generation of Offensive Lineman from the king of OL, Cal. Bernie’s debut season was a mixed bag with an above average amount of Pancakes for an interior lineman but also allowing 4 sacks, one of the most on the season. Whether he will end up like the legendary Rubbe will be a question that is answered in due time.
93rd: Busters Brownce [28 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 72
Teams Played for: Yellowknife Wraiths, San Jose Sabercats
- 3 Seasons Played
- 75 Pancakes [90th]
- 12 Sacks Allowed
Busters longevity [in comparison to early season OL] gives a post to his career score that was taken away by the 12 sacks he allowed throughout the 3 seasons allowed. As a result of all this, he finds himself 93rd all time, 3 places below his pancake rating of 90th.
92nd: Brokk Lee [29.1 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 10
Teams Played for: Baltimore Hawks
- 2 Seasons Played
- 81 Pancakes [85th]
- 9 Sacks Allowed
Brokk was probably the worst part of the worst scandal in the early years of the ISFL/NSFL. This is of course referring to the ER multi scandal. Brokk went to the wrong team in the eyes of ER who was also Brokk so as a result, ER faked Brokk having cancer so he can abandon this account. 2 average seasons see Brokk end up 92nd on this list.
91st: Keane Lover [30.2 Points]
Drafted: Season 29, Pick 24
Teams Played for: Sarasota Sailfish
- Season 30 Ultimus Champions [Sarasota Sailfish]
- 1 Season Played
- 62 Pancakes [97th]
- 5 Sacks Allowed
Keane has played 1 poor season in their career so far but it has coincided with the Sarasota Sailfish’s successful season 30 campaign that resulted in an Ultimus victory. Keane still has a long road to go in their career so seeing where they end up will be an interesting thing to keep an eye on.
90th: Bob Roberts [31.3 Points]
Drafted: Season 25, Pick 41
Teams Played for: New York Silverbacks
- 1 Season Played
- 78 Pancakes [88th]
- 0 Sacks Allowed
Yuck, zayn. Zayn position switched to an OL for season 30 and as a result only benefits from accolades in Season 30, meaning the Silverbacks Ultimus win in season 29 does not get accredited to Bob Roberts career accolades on this list. His 1 seasons that does count was a decent one where he recorded average pancakes and didn’t allow a sack. With only limited time to pick up accolades, how far can Zane make it up the list?
89th: Braden Sharp [33.9 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 67
Teams Played for: Arizona Outlaws, San Jose Sabercats
- Season 1 Ultimus Champion [Arizona Outlaws]
- 4 Seasons Played
- 94 Pancakes [82nd]
- 27 Sacks Allowed
An all around mixed bag here. Sharp has a decent longevity, playing the maximum amount of seasons an early generation offensive lineman could play. He also picked up an Ultimus Championship as a waiver pickup with the Arizona Outlaws in season 1. However, he also allowed an extremely high amount of sacks, one of the most all time. When it all shakes out, Sharp ends up at 89th on the list.
88th: Emperor de Pengu [37.2 Points]
Drafted: Season 29, Pick 21
Teams Played for: Colorado Yeti
- Season 30 Pro Bowler
- 1 Season Played
- 62 Pancakes [97th]
- 3 Sacks Allowed
De Pengu has a special honour on this list, a honour that is both good and bad. He’s a Pro Bowler but he is also the lineman with the lowest spot on the list that has achieved a Pro Bowl. A below average season otherwise leads to de Pengu ending up as 88th on this list.
87th: Ma Goomba [38.1 Points]
Drafted: Season 14, Pick 19
Teams Played for: Arizona Outlaws
- Season 14 Pro Bowler**
- 3 Seasons Played
- 46 Pancakes [108th]
- 5 Sacks Allowed
Back to Back Pro Bowlers here with Ma Goomba beating out Emperor de Pengu. Goomba picked up a Pro Bowl in S14 that I awarded to him myself so it isn’t an official title. Looking at the stats more, there are 3 seasons with low pancake totals so he benefits a lot with the small amount of sacks and the award boosting him higher in the standing.
86th: Matt James [39.1 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 42
Teams Played for: Yellowknife Wraiths
- Season 2 Pro Bowler
- 2 Seasons Played
- 81 Pancakes [85th]
- 14 Sacks Allowed
Matt James is another interesting segment of the ER multi web. He got drafted to the Philadelphia Liberty but held out in a move to try and get to Arizona. That failed and he ended up playing his career in Yellowknife. Picking up a Pro Bowl in season 2 in a sea of poor seasons, James finds himself 86th in the OL rankings.
85th: Daniel Robicheaux [39.3 Points]
Drafted: Season 1, Pick 40
Teams Played for: San Jose Sabercats, Colorado Yeti
- Season 1 Pro Bowler
- 2 Seasons Played
- 93 Pancakes [83rd]
- 16 Sacks Allowed
Robicheaux performed extremely well in season 1, picking up a Pro Bowl honour at the end of the season. This was a stark contrast to his performance in season 2 where he picked up 36 pancakes and 13 sacks allowed, an extremely poor season. These sacks had a bigger outcome on his career point total then his Pro Bowl leaving him in 85th.
84th: Jordan Weal [40 Points]
Drafted: Season 1, Pick 44
Teams Played for: Baltimore Hawks, Las Vegas Legion
- Season 1 Pro Bowler
- 2 Seasons Played
- 75 Pancakes [90th]
- 10 Sacks Allowed
Jordan Weal is a similar story to the 85th ranked Robicheaux. They were drafted very close to another, had an above average season 1 that resulted in a pro bowl and finished it off with a poor season 2. The lower amount of sacks Weal allowed, got him above Robicheaux in the list.
83rd: Moe Skeeter [40.3 Points]
Drafted: Season 26, Pick 9
Teams Played for: Austin Copperheads
- 2 Seasons Played
- 108 Pancakes [76th]
- 5 Sacks Allowed
Moe Skeeter is coming towards the end of his progression cycle, with regression right around the corner meaning his progression up this list may be minimal. He’s seasons so far have been average but his lack of accolades see him drop from his pancake ranking of 76th down to his overall ranking of 83rd.
82nd: Sirdsvaldis Miglaskems [41 Points]
Drafted: Season 26, Pick 39
Teams Played for: Honolulu Hahalua
- 2 Seasons Played
- 110 Pancakes [75th]
- 5 Sacks Allowed
Miglaskems is extremely similar to the 83rd ranked Skeeter, the only difference between them is 2 rankings which attributes the 0.7 ranking points between them. 0.2 for the pancakes and 0.5 for the ranking difference. The Skeeter vs Miglaskems rivalry could be something to follow throughout the latter half of their career.
81st: Dieter Koch [42.1 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 27
Teams Played for: Baltimore Hawks
- Season 2 Pro Bowler
- 2 Seasons Played
- 96 Pancakes [80th]
- 15 Sacks Allowed
Koch racked up a Pro Bowl in seasons 2 but also had 15 sacks allowed throughout his career, effectively cancelling each other out in terms of career points for his ranking. As a result his pancake rating of 80th is extremely reflective of his overall ranking of 81st.
80th: Tim Tebow [43.1 Points]
Drafted: Season 1. Pick 117
Teams Played for: San Jose Sabercats, Las Vegas Legion
- Season 1 Pro Bowler
- 3 Seasons Played
- 116 Pancakes [72nd]
- 25 Sacks Allowed
The Legend, The GOAT, Timothy Tebow. Tebow picked up a Pro Bowl in season 1 but followed that up with 2 seasons with double digit sacks allowed that plummet his overall rankings down. His above-average 3 seasons played push him up further. The Pro Bowl, 3 seasons played and 72nd pancake ranking meant Tebow should be higher then 80th but his sacks bring him back down to Earth.
79th: Bender Rodriguez [43.5 Points]
Drafted: Season 1, Pick 34
Teams Played for: Colorado Yeti, Yellowknife Wraiths
- Season 1 Pro Bowler
- 3 Seasons Played
- 125 Pancakes [69th]
- 27 Sacks Allowed
Bender followed a similar career trajectory to the 80th ranked Tim Tebow. An above average first season that resulted in a Pro Bowl followed by 2 poor seasons with double digt sacks allowed in each season. His 69th pancake ranking boosts him up the board but his negatives drop him back to 79th all time.
78th: Quentin Button [46.2 Points]
Drafted: Season 24, Pick 7.
Teams Played for: Colorado Yeti
- 2 Seasons Played
- 127 Pancakes [66th]
- 6 Sacks Allowed
Quinten Button position switched in the peak of his career and is now playing his career as an Offensive Lineman for the Colorado Yeti. He hasn’t picked up any accolades yet but as had 2 average seasons so far. His 6 sacks allowed and lack of accolades see him ranked 78th when his pancakes rate him 66th.
77th: Shjom Finkenlarkin [48.1 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 61
Teams Played for: Philadelphia Liberty, Colorado Yeti
- Season 3 Pro Bowler
- 2 Seasons Played
- 96 Pancakes [80th]
- 9 Sacks Allowed
Finkerlakin ended up with an average career but his Season 3 performance allowed him to pick up a Pro Bowl honour. His pancake ranking is quite reflective of his overall ranking with only 2 places separating it.
76th: D’Brickashaw Ferguson [49 Points]
Drafted: Season 1, Pick 86
Teams Played for: Yellowknife Wraiths, Orange County Otters
- Season 1 Pro Bowler
- 3 Seasons Played
- 125 Pancakes [69th]
- 22 Sacks Allowed
A few poor seasons for Ferguson, that also included a Pro Bowl odd in the inaugural season of the league. His 3 seasons and Pro Bowl as well as above-average pancake stats for the era see him rise up the overall rankings. However, his 22 sacks allowed see him drop from his pancake ranking of 69th to his overall ranking of 76th
75th: Saggitariutt Jefferspin [52.1 Points]
Drafted: Season 1, Pick 67
Teams Played for: Arizona Outlaws, Las Vegas Legion
- Season 1 Ultimus Champion [Arizona Outlaws]
- 3 Seasons Played
- 131 Pancakes [65th]
- 16 Sacks Allowed
Jefferspin was the second last offensive lineman taken in the inaugural draft but hit the jackpot as he was drafted into the Arizona Outlaws who won the championship in that season. 3 average to poor seasons left Jefferspin at 16 sacks allowed, a statistic that dropped him to 75th in the OL rankings, down from his pancake ranking of 65th
74th: Marcus Boyd [53.5 Points]
Drafted: Season 1, Pick 61
Teams Played for: Orange County Otters, Philadelphia Liberty
- Season 1 Pro Bowler
- 3 Seasons Played
- 99 Pancakes [79th]
- 9 Sacks Allowed
Marcus Boyd had a great start to his career racking up a Pro Bowl honour in season 1. The seasons after were quite poor and a lack of pancakes see Boyd only make it 74th on this list. Which is up 5 places from his pancake ranking of 79th.
73rd: Scott Timlin [54.1 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 24
Teams Played for: Arizona Outlaws
- Season 1 Ultimus Champion [Arizona Outlaws]
- Season 2 Ultimus Champion [Arizona Outlaws]
- Season 3 Ultimus Champion [Arizona Outlaws]
- 3 Seasons Played
- 71 Pancakes [93rd]
- 14 Sacks Allowed
Scotty Timlin could be what some consider lucky. He played 3 seasons as an Offensive Lineman, all for the Arizona Outlaws during their dominating run in the early seasons of the league. Scotty played 3 below average seasons which resulted in Timlin ranking 93rd all time for pancakes, a place 20 spots lower then his overall ranking of 73rd.
72nd: Manhatten Project [54.2 Points]
Drafted: Season 28, Pick 11
Teams Played for: Colorado Yeti
- 2 Seasons Played
- 127 Pancakes [66th]
- 3 Sacks Allowed
Project was a first round pick for the Yeti who has so far produced 2 average seasons, especially in the increased pancake era of the new sim engine. With plenty of time left in his career, Project can surely go further up this leaderboard.
71st: Cade Williams [54.7 Points]
Drafted: Season 28, Pick 13
Teams Played for: New Orleans Second Line
- 2 Seasons Played
- 142 Pancakes [60th]
- 2 Sacks Allowed
Cade was drafted 2 position after Manhatten Project but finds himself above him in this list. His greater pancake numbers then Project as well as allowing fewer sacks. A greater start to the career for Williams but the battle between Williams and Project will only go on and increase as they continue their early careers.
70th: Joey McCabe [55.8 Points]
Drafted: Season 22, Pick 68
Teams Played for: Sarasota Sailfish, Berlin Fire Salamanders
- 3 Seasons Played
- 168 Pancakes [51st]
- 13 Sacks Allowed
McCabe is our first representative from the Season 22 Draft on this list, the biggest and most influential draft class in recent ISFL history. McCabe also has a part in this history, being a part of the expansion Sarasota Sailfish as well as the expansion Berlin Fire Salamanders. 3 seasons average pancake numbers see him get 51st on the pancake ranking but his sacks allowed and lack of accolades drop him to 70th in the overall rankings
69th: Maiteers Rico-Shea [56.4 Points]
Drafted: Season 26, Pick 30
Teams Played for: Orange County Otters
- 2 Seasons Played
- 149 Pancakes [56th]
- 3 Sacks Allowed
Could it be more perfect that the 69th best Offensive Lineman of all time is Beaver? Rico-Shea started late after being a full termer in the DSFL but has produced 2 good seasons so far and could see himself rise up this leader board further. Accolades would be required for rapid rises but his final position should dramatically increase as Rico-Shea plays further seasons.
68th: Jay Cue [57.4 Points]
Drafted: Season 18, Pick 18
Teams Played for: Arizona Outlaws
- Season 27 Pro Bowler
- 1 Season Played
- 114 Pancakes [73rd]
- 0 Sacks Allowed
Jay Cue was a legendary quarterback for the Arizona Outalws and when his arm failed him, he bulked up and moved to the Offensive Line for his farewell season. His one season on the well was great, picking up a Pro Bowl, triple digit pancakes and not allowing a single sack. Its almost a question of what if? Could Jay Cue have been a more successful Offensive Lineman? He was a damn good quarterback but what if?
67th: James Gath [58.9 Points]
Drafted: Season 25, Pick 9
Teams Played for: Chicago Butchers
- 3 Seasons Played
- 154 Pancakes [54th]
- 7 Sacks Allowed
Gath was a highly touted cornerback going into the ISFL draft but a drop off in earning saw a switch to the Offensive Line. So far in his career he hasn’t picked up any accolades and has had 3 average seasons in the big league. With the peak of his career probably over, Gath’s rising in this list may be limited.
66th: Ben Longshaw [60.7 Points]
Drafted: Season 1, Pick 16
Teams Played for: San Jose Sabercats
- Season 2 Pro Bowler
- 3 Seasons Played
- 157 Pancakes [53rd]
- 21 Sacks Allowed
Longshaw holds a significant place in the history of Offensive Lineman as he was the first one taken in the inaugural draft at pick 16. Throughout his 3 seasons as an OL, he racked up quite a few sacks allowed, a decent amount of pancakes for the time as well as a Pro Bowl honour in Season 2. His pancake rating of 53rd is 13 places higher then his overall ranking due to his sacks allowed.
65th: Cliff Hamilton [61.4 Points]
Drafted: Season 1, Pick 109
Teams Played for: Orange County Otters
- Season 1 Pro Bowler
- 3 Seasons Played
- 134 Pancakes [61st]
- 14 Sacks Allowed
Cliff Hamilton was drafted in Season 1 as a quarterback but became an Offensive Lineman before even stepping onto an ISFL field. This turned into a great move as Hamilton was a Pro Bowler in the Inaugural ISFL season. His pancake rating and his overall ranking are close to one another as well with only a difference of 4.
64th: Greg Clegane [62.4 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 6
Teams Played for: Orange County Otters
- Season 3 Pro Bowler
- 3 Seasons Played
- 144 Pancakes [59th]
- 15 Sacks Allowed
Clegane was picked in the first round of Season 2 and ended up playing for 3 seasons in the early history of the ISFL. His high sack numbers push his ranking down but he did peak in Season 3 where he picked up Pro Bowl honours.
63rd: Vincent Sharpei [66.3 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 4
Teams Played for: Baltimore Hawks, San Jose Sabercats
- Season 2 Pro Bowler
- Season 3 Pro Bowler
- 3 Seasons Played
- 148 Pancakes [58th]
- 27 Sacks Allowed
Sharpei picked up 2 Pro Bowls during his career for the Sabercats along with a lot of sacks allowed. His son Vincent Sharpei Jr, recently entered the league as a wide receiver. Picking up accolades along the way but allowing a lot of sacks lead to Sharpei dropping below his pancake ranking.
62nd: Perry Tucker Jr. [66.8 Points]
Drafted: Season 21, Pick 30
Teams Played for: Chicago Butchers
- 5 Seasons Played
- 173 Pancakes [50th]
- 13 Sacks Allowed
Perry played for 5 seasons as an Offensive Lineman, including lining up at Fullback at times. He had low pancake numbers and allowed quite a few sacks but his longevity in his position allowed him to move up further then players around. This longevity led to a 50th placed pancake ranking as well.
61st: Caden Bright [67.7 Points]
Drafted: Season 18, Pick 46
Teams Played for: Chicago Butchers
- Season 18 Pro Bowler**
- Season 19 Pro Bowler**
- 2 Seasons Played
- 102 Pancakes [78th]
- 6 Sacks Allowed
Caden played in an era where the OL were seen as irresponsible and a joke and as a result, no awards and accolades were given out. I’ve rectified this and given Bright 2 Pro Bowls he should’ve earned. His 2 average seasons only see him 78th in pancakes but his new Pro Bowl accolades see him up to 61st overall
60th: Avon Blocksdale [67.8 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 28
Teams Played for: Baltimore Hawks
- ISFL Hall of Famer [2 of 11 Season = 18%]
- Season 3 Pro Bowler
- 2 Seasons Played
- 91 Pancakes [84th]
- 5 Sacks Allowed
Blocksdale is a Hall of Famer in this league but his time as an OL was minimal, with it only being 2 of his 11 seasons. His 2 seasons of OL play did lead to a Pro Bowl in Season 2 but they were pretty ordinary overall. His play outside of the OL boosted him up the rankings. Blocksdale finishes 24 spots higher then his pancakes ranking of 84th.
59th: Richard Littlewood [68.1]
Drafted: Season 26, Pick 35
Teams Played for: Honolulu Hahalua, New Orleans Second Line
- 5 Seasons Played
- 256 Pancakes [38th]
- 26 Sacks Allowed
Littlewood’s career has been marred by really poor seasons, full of sacks allowed. His rookie season was poor when he allowed 7 sacks but he’s S29 season was ever worse when he allowed 9 sacks, leading to him not getting picked up in Season 30. Picked up a NOLA contract in S31 but that season doesn’t impact our list. His pancake total gets him into 38th in the pancake ranking but his lack of accolades and high sack total, lead to him ended up 59th on the overall rankings.
58th: Harley Fank [68.3 Points]
Drafted: Season 25, Pick 53
Teams Played for: New York Silverbacks
- Season 29 Ultimus Champion [New York Silverbacks]
- 2 Seasons Played
- 158 Pancakes [52nd]
- 4 Sacks Allowed
Harley started his career as a Wide Receiver but transitioned into an Offensive Lineman recently. His 2 seasons at the position so far have been slightly above average but not extraordinary. He was a part of the Offensive Line that won the Ultimus Championship in Season 29. His pancake ranking is a couple of places higher then his overall ranking of 58th.
56th: Blake McCargue [70 Points]
Drafted: Season 13, Pick 5
Teams Played for: Philadelphia Liberty
- Season 14 Offensive Lineman of the Year**
- Season 14 Pro Bowler**
- 1 Season Played
- 19 Pancakes [123rd]
- 0 Sacks Allowed
McCargue is someone who benefitted from the ‘every season deserves awards’ theory I have instituted in these rankings. He was the best of 2 players that played offensive line in season 14 and as a result picked up Pro Bowl and Awards honours in season 14. His 1 season of very low pancake numbers gave him the 3rd fewest amount of pancakes by a human offensive lineman, but not allowing a sack and picking up awards, almost be default seems him rocket up from his pancake ranking.
56th: Gluteus Maximus [70 Points]
Drafted: Season 26, Pick 44
Teams Played for: Austin Copperheads
- 2 Seasons Played
- 205 Pancakes [42nd]
- 2 Sacks Allowed
Gluteus Maximus is gearing up for his peak seasons after having a decent first 2 seasons for the Austin Copperheads. Averaging over 100 pancakes per seasons has him 42nd in pancakes overall but a lack of accolades see him end up in 56th overall all time.
55th: Pat Pancake [71.3 Points]
Drafted: Season 2, Pick 68
Teams Played for: Baltimore Hawks, Arizona Outlaws
- Season 4 Pro Bowler
- Season 3 Ultimus Champion [Arizona Outlaws]
- 3 Seasons Played
- 133 Pancakes [63rd]
