No other college football program has produced offensive linemen like the Oklahoma Sooners have in the past 25 years.
With the 2025 NFL season nearing, ESPN recently put together an NFL All Quarter Century Team, assembling the best 53-man roster of NFL players that played since 2000 until now, and two former OU offensive linemen were included with the greats.
Two Sooners on ESPN's NFL All Quarter Century Team
Offensive linemen Lane Johnson and Trent Williams were included on the NFL All Quarter Century Team, with Johnson at right tackle and Williams on the blind side. OU was the only school with two former offensive linemen on the 53-man roster.
25 years.

Johnson is still bolstering his NFL resume entering his 13th season with the Philadelphia Eagles. He just won his second Super Bowl last season after also winning a Lombardi Trophy in 2018. Johnson is also a six-time Pro Bowler, which is leads all right tackles since 2000, according to ESPN. He's also been named an All-Pro five times.
Williams is also still playing with the San Francisco 49ers after starting his NFL career in Washington. He's an 11-time Pro Bowler heading into his 15th season. His run of 11 Pro Bowls between 2012 and 2023 was the most by any offensive tackle since 2000, according to ESPN. He's also a four-time All-Pro, but that Super Bowl title has eluded Williams to this point in his career.
Williams was behind Joe Thomas at left tackle on the list, while Johnson was with Willie Anderson.
Other greats on the 53-man roster included quarterbacks Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Patrick Mahomes. An argument could also be made that Kansas City Chiefs long snapper and former Sooner James Winchester should had been included, but instead, Morgan Cox got the nod at the position. Winchester is a three-time Super Bowl champion, compared to Cox's one.
