Green Bay Packers: 20 greatest players since 2010
By Joe Kipp
5. Josh Sitton, Left Guard
Josh Sitton sits one spot higher than his former counterpart TJ Lang. Even though Lang was the better run-blocker, Sitton was a stone wall in pass protection. His ability to shut down elite interior defensive linemen was always mesmerizing.
Sitton was drafted one year before Lang in 2008, non-coincidentally in the fourth round as well. He’s been selected to four Pro Bowls (three times with the Packers), was twice a second-team All-Pro and was once named a first-team All-Pro.
In a stunning move, Sitton was released during the 2016 offseason. Many speculated it was due to attitude issues; that Sitton was an instigator in the locker room. Whatever it was, he later signed with rival Chicago and played two seasons for the Bears. He recently signed with the Miami Dolphins this offseason.
Sitton will be remembered as one the best interior lineman of the past decade. It took him a while to garner recognition, but once noticed he made a name for himself. He remains the best pass-blocking guard in the NFL.
Sitton was an iron man as well, starting in 110 of 112 regular season games and 13 playoff games during his Packers career.
