He's the best guard in football. He's given TJ Lang a road map. Linsley won't let him down. Its the best interior OL in football. And it's driven by a quiet low key mauler that never gets beat that others don't want to disappoint.
There have been a lot of great guards in Green Bay. He's in the band of brothers.
After Aaron, it's probably Ted's best draft pick.

You just fell in love with him, didn't you?
Soldier of Green Bay that asks nothing but demands effort by example.
Yeah, I love Josh Sitton.
I'm super gay for Josh Sitton! Loud and Proud!
What a bunch of chubby chasers!
He's not chubby. He's big boned. Love me some Sitton.

Sitton on your face is what you dream about...
Superstar.

Almost. The on makes it seem like you are stuttering like I do when I see Sitton destroying a DLine.
@ByRyanWood: #Packers LG Josh Sitton has not allowed a sack in 37 straight games, dating back to Week 3 of 2013. He's only allowed 1 pressure this year.
From McGinn's Rams' game player ratings:
Josh Sitton solidified his standing as a premier guard by shutting down Aaron Donald, probably the hottest 3-technique in the league. Everyone has the size advantage over Donald. Most guards, however, can't cope with his sudden take-off, quick hands, underrated strength and all-out style. Sitton is different because he's smart, patient and agile, besides being massive. At least half of Donald's 50 snaps were against Sitton.
Dude is nasty. Poor Aaron Donald.
Interior lineman never get their due, but this guy was probably the 4th best player on a Super Bowl winning team in 2010 (Rodgers, Woodson, Matthews), and has only gotten better. If he played at the same level at a glamour position, he'd likely be a future Hall of Famer.
The 1996 team had two hall of famers (White and Favre) and one should be HOFer(Butler).
The 2010 team will have Rodgers and Woodson as sure bets. Matthews will have a chance and I would hope Sitton would too.
@ByRyanWood: Last time #Packers LG Josh Sitton allowed sack at home? Week 8, 2012 vs. Jaguars. That's longer than Aaron Rodgers' interception-less streak.
@ByRyanWood: Stretching almost 3 years, #Packers LG Josh Sitton's streak of not allowing a sack is "nothing short of phenomenal." [GBPG article at the link] http://t.co/jiX6PDrQtO
"His 37 straight games with no sacks allowed is the longest streak for any guard in the NFL since at least 2007, the first season Pro Football Focus started tracking advanced metrics."
"How impressive is Sitton’s streak? Consider who flanks him at left tackle and center on the Packers’ offensive line. The last time Sitton allowed a sack, Bakhtiari and Linsley were in college."
Well, the press are so determined to break every Packers' streak, aren't they?
lol Goalline.
Impressive though, I had no idea!
Finally, the unsung hero of the OL is getting some well-deserved pub. Now let's hope the press doesn't jinx him.

Too late
I think we've seen a bit of a change in the league also. It used to be getting by at guard was fine when you had good tackles, but teams like Baltimore and Cincy started a trend of more A-gap blitzes and the Giants pushed the trend of moving an undersized pass rusher over slower guards on obvious passing situations, especially since teams pass more these days. Exposing matchups with slower guards is a big thing.
Look at the team's expected to be good who have really struggled. Philadelphia has talent at tackle, as does Indy on the left side. Their guards are terrible though. People were writing off New England last year when they were getting smoked up the middle. Then they reshuffled their interior to strengthen it and they went on their run. That quick pressure up the middle is a killer and even guys like Brady and Luck really struggle with it.
Question: Is there a better interior 3 in the league than Sitton, Linsley, Lang?
I don't care enough about other teams to have an informed decision, and my PFF subscription has been suspended

Great interior lineman never change. The best teams in history have had them. The smartest coaches in NFL history knew they needed them. The best coaches killed to get them.
Josh Sitton named second team All-Pro
For the third time in his career, Green Bay Packers left guard Josh Sitton was selected as a second team All-Pro by a panel of Associated Press voters.
Sitton was the only Packers player named on the first- or second-team All-Pro lists released Friday. He started all 16 games for the Packers this season, the fourth straight season he hasn't missed a start.
Baltimore Ravens guard Marshal Yanda and Pittsburgh Steelers guard David DeCastro were voted to the first team. Sitton was joined on the second team by Arizona Cardinals guard Mike Iupati and Dallas Cowboys guard Zach Martin.
It's the second straight season Sitton has been voted as a second team All-Pro. The 2008 fourth-round pick was also a second team All-Pro in 2012. Sitton was also voted to the Pro Bowl for the third time this season, joining quarterback Aaron Rodgers, inside linebacker Clay Matthews and first-alternate fullback John Kuhn.
Sitton is certainly paid like one of the league’s best players at his position. His average annual salary of $6.75 million is the fifth highest among NFL guards, according to Over The Cap. Sitton has rewarded the Packers' financial commitment with consistently superb play.
In 15 games as a left guard this season, Sitton allowed three sacks. His 12 total pressures were the second-fewest among NFL guards, according to Pro Football Focus.
Sitton's consistency has been especially important this season. The Packers have had their preferred five offensive line starters only seven times in 16 games. Sitton is the only Packers offensive lineman to start each game this season. His final start of the year came at left tackle, where he replaced injured starter David Bakhtiari.
Coach Mike McCarthy said Sitton will play left guard this week when the Packers travel to Washington for their NFC wild-card playoff game
Kalil Mack got named to 2!!! first team All-Pro positions. One for OLB. One for DE.
That's an NFL first and hats off to Reggie for that pick. Amazing player.
PS: Bryan Bulaga also owned him that game.
That will make for an interesting conversation when his contract is up. Pay him for OLB or DE.

Or trade him to GB!

Fell in to Reggie's lap. No credit to him.
Two positions only? He should learn the Kama Sutra.
Kalil Mack and AJ Hawk were both taken with the 5th overall pick. The similarities end there. 
“He looks pretty svelte, doesn’t he?” QB Aaron Rodgers
said. “He looks great. I’m happy for him. He’s in a contract year, so he came back looking really good. He’s also getting married, so you want to look good in those wedding pictures, too.”
He's the one you extend... career Packer and potential HOFer...
