Stanford’s seasoned left tackle turned right-side anchor
In the 2006 season, Jon Cochran was a veteran Stanford offensive lineman who had already logged 20 career starts by year’s end, showing the kind of experience coaches trust in the trenches. He was a 6-foot-6, 315-pound former top-15 offensive line recruit who brought size, versatility, and durability, starting at both tackle and guard for the Cardinal. His standout trait was reliability: Stanford called him a stalwart and a critical contributor, though a staph infection briefly sidelined him in 2006. If you value a battle-tested blocker with real positional flexibility, Cochran fits the bill.
