“Denver Broncos right tackle Orlando Franklin, Houston Texans center Chris Myers, and Jacksonville Jaguars guard Brandon Linder are other linemen who shined at Miami and went on to play in the NFL.
“Look into the history books and you will see Pro Football Hall of Fame center Jim Otto was a star at Miami in the 1950s. Dennis Harrah, who was a six-time Pro Bowler and seven-time All-Pro, was an All-American guard at Miami in 1974.
“You will also find longtime NFL star and 1991 National Champion Leon Searcy and All-Americans K.C. Jones and Richard Mercier among the standout linemen who donned Miami’s orange and green proudly.
“The 2014 offensive line is not short on gifted blockers, but left tackle Ereck Flowers is the regarded as one of the best of the bunch.”
