#76 Jon Jansen - After missing the entire 2004 season, Jansen returned to the Redskins lineup in 2005 and didn't miss a game. Even more impressive is the fact Jansen played a portion of the season with two broken thumbs. Jansen's return helped to solidify the right side of the offensive line and he helped pave the way for a record breaking season for Clinton Portis. With lefty Mark Brunell in the lineup, Jansen was responsible for protecting his blind side and he often did this with little help from the backs or tight ends.
Jansen's efforts may have gone unnoticed by Pro Bowl voters, but Joe Bugel definitely took notice stating: "This has been Jon's best season, I think he had a Pro Bowl year, especially considering what he had to fight through."
