Not many accolades get thrown in the trenches, but if you’re a real fan of football, you understand this is the place where games are often won and lost. Take a look at some of the top returning offensive linemen in 2012.

He presented a jersey to the President at the White House just months after being named the nation’s most outstanding interior lineman as winner of the Lombardi Award. Jones, who will switch to center this year after previously playing guard and tackle, helped Alabama rank 16th nationally in rushing offense in 2011.
