Drafted with the 15th overall pick in the 2011 draft, Pouncey has turned in a stellar career at center. In 2014 he opened the season injured after undergoing hip surgery prior to the start of training camp. When he returned he started at right guard where he made the pro-bowl.
Pouncey will start the 2015 season back at center where he has made the pro-bowl as well in 2013. Since joining the NFL, Pouncey has started all 58 games he has appeared in.
A lynchpin to the Miami Dolphins offensive line, Pouncey has overcome league and public scrutiny following his involvement in the Jonathan Martin bullying scandal but faced no league or team discipline.
