Washington Huskies: 30 greatest football players of all-time

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, there was no better offensive tackle in college football than Lincoln Kennedy. He was the anchor of the Huskies offensive line, and would parlay his incredible college career into becoming a first-round pick of the Atlanta Falcons in the 1993 NFL Draft.

A monster of a man, standing at 6-foot-6 and coming in at over 330 pounds during his playing days, Kennedy was a two-time winner of the Morris Trophy, which is given to the best linemen in the conference.

In addition, he was a consensus All-American during the 1992 college football season. Kennedy would end up being enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame in 2015.

Outside of being named an All-American and winning the Morris Trophy, Kennedy also won the Jim Parker Trophy, which is given to the nation’s most outstanding offensive lineman. While guys like Steve Emtman and Napoleon Kaufman got a lot of publicity on the 1991 National Championship team, none of it would be possible without having an anchor like Kennedy at the left tackle position.

After his career with Washington was up, Kennedy started his career in Atlanta and ended up becoming a three-time Pro Bowl player during his time in the NFL. A two-time All-Pro, Kennedy actually went to a Super Bowl as a member of the Oakland Raiders, where he currently serves as a radio broadcaster for the team. When it comes to offensive linemen, Kennedy is the best the Washington football program has ever produced.
