Kevin Mawae, Center
Body of work: In four seasons with Seattle, eight with the New York Jets and three with Tennessee, Mawae has been elected to seven Pro Bowls, including five in a row from 2000-04. He's protected quarterbacks including Warren Moon, Vinny Testaverde, Chad Pennington, Vince Young and Kerry Collins while blocking for running backs including Curtis Martin and Travis Henry. His 225 regular-season games ranks as the most by an active offensive lineman. He's regarded as crafty, smart and technically sound and has drawn praise from teammates and criticism from opponents for his physical edge.
Unfinished business: Another few years of high level play and a couple more Pro Bowls would certainly boost his candidacy. Dermontti Dawson, a Pittsburgh Steelers center from 1988-2000, was a seven-time Pro Bowler and is a first-time Hall of Fame finalist this year.
Projected chance: Won't be easy.
