Marshal Yanda

Marshal John Yanda (born September 15, 1984) is an American former professional football player who spent his entire 13-year career as a guard for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Iowa Hawkeyes, and was selected by the Ravens in the third round of the 2007 NFL draft. With six consecutive Pro Bowl selections from 2011 to 2016 (the longest active streak amongst guards at the time), Yanda was widely considered to be among the best offensive linemen in football. He was also a unanimous selection to the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team. Yanda missed most of the 2017 season due to injury, but was elected to the Pro Bowl again in 2018 and 2019 before announcing his retirement in March 2020.
