2. Connor Lanfear – Gravy

As one of the older offensive linemen, Connor Lanfear is essential to the game. His experience and leadership help the o-line stay focused and do their job. When the o-line is a success, the game usually turns out better. An exceptional o-line can make a running back or quarterback who’s having a bad day, look just a little bit better. Plus, they’re stereotypically not the fancy gentlemen of the team who make all the pretty plays. No, they’re the warriors in the trenches who get sloppy and dirty and let the fancy boys shine. This is why Connor Lanfear is the gravy of the meal.

Sometimes, things may go a little wrong when cooking the turkey. Enter gravy. While it may not be the most romantic food or condiment or whatever it is, gravy saves millions of meals every Thanksgiving. If the turkey isn’t perfect like it usually is, just smother it in some tasty gravy, and voila, problem solved!
