Bio: A third-round pick in 2003, Manuwai was a mauling left guard who helped fuel one of the league\u2019s most physical rushing attacks. He started over 100 games across eight seasons in Jacksonville, including a dominant 2006 campaign that saw the Jaguars average over 170 rushing yards per game. Manuwai\u2019s power and toughness made him a fan favorite and a key figure in the team\u2019s mid-2000s identity.<\/p>\n
