He started 231 straight games (including playoffs) at the right guard position; an NFL record. He went to the Pro Bowl every year from 1995 to 2006, a total of 12, a Chiefs team record, and having played in all of them, he is tied with Champ Bailey and Randall McDaniel for most Pro Bowls played.^[8] He was an important part in the Kansas City Chiefs offensive line that consistently led the team to a top 5 finish in rushing offense.
