If there is anyone in the last 50 years of Gophers football who deserves to have his jersey retired, it's Eslinger. Per Athlon's list of top 10 lineman in the BCS Era:
4. Greg Eslinger, C
Minnesota, 2002-05
Not many centers have an Outland Trophy on their mantle at home but Eslinger does. He was a freshman All-American in 2002, a third-team All-American as a sophomore, a first-teamer in '04 and earned consensus All-American honors as a senior. He won the Rimington Trophy as the nation’s top center and earned Big Ten Lineman of the Year honors in ’05. Minnesota never had a losing record during his four-year career.
