Jonathan Phillip Ogden (born July 31, 1974 in
Washington,
D.C.) is a retired American football offensive
tackle who played for the Baltimore Ravens.
College
He received his education at St. Albans School,
excelling not only in football but also in track and field. An
All-American in both sports, he decided on UCLA instead of
the University of Florida because
UCLA would let him participate in track and field. A legitimate
Olympic level shot-putter, he won the 1996 NCAA indoor track title in the
shot put. He had an outstanding career with the UCLA Bruins,
starting as left tackle for four years. In 23 games during his
junior and senior years, he allowed just two sacks. In 1995, Ogden
received the Outland Trophy and the Morris Trophy, was
the UPI Lineman
of the Year, and was a unanimous 1st-team All-American.
Ogden eventually had his jersey (#79) retired - only the eighth
player in Bruins' history to receive that honor.
Odgen was inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall Of Fame in
2006.
He was a History major.
During the 1996
NFL Draft, Ogden was selected by the Ravens in the first round
with the fourth overall choice, the first ever draft pick made by
the Ravens.
In his twelve-year career, he played in 177 games (through 2007
season) and consistently performed as one of the best offensive
linemen in the league, making him one of the greatest of all time.
Ogden is a nine-time All-Pro and an eleven-time Pro Bowler at left tackle, earning trips to Hawaii in 1997–2007. During his
career, Ogden caught two passes — both for one yard and both for touchdowns, recovered 7 fumbles, and recorded 10
tackles. Ogden is a rare blend of both size, power and agility,
excelling in both run blocking and pass blocking. Ogden allowed
fewer adjusted sacks than any other left tackle in the NFL in
2006.
In 2001, Ogden won a championship ring with the Ravens when they
defeated the New
York Giants 34-7 in Super Bowl XXXV. Ogden announced his
retirement on June 12, 2008[1] after a
career that spanned 12 seasons, all with Baltimore.
In Sept. 2009, Jonathan was selected to Sporting News'
Magazine's Team of the Decade (2000's).
Personal
life
- At 6' 9", Jon was tied with fellow Raven Jared Gaither as
the tallest player in the NFL at the end of his playing career.[2]
- Jonathan established the Jonathan Ogden Foundation to benefit
innercity schools and help student-athletes take responsibility for
their futures through lessons learned on the playing field, in the
classroom, and throughout their local communities.
