Pace was recognized as the cornerstone of a Rams offensive line that blocked for an offense compiling more gross yards than any other team during his 12 years with the team (50,770 in 12 seasons), second in completion percentage (61.8 percent), and fifth in touchdown passes (289) over that time. Under Pace's protection, the Rams' passing offense compiled more than 3,000 yards in all 12 of seasons, seven different quarterbacks eclipsed the 3,000-yard mark in a season (including three times surpassing the 4,000-yard mark), and blocked for seven 1,000-yard rushers. Pace also protected the league's Most Valuable Player (MVP) recipient for three consecutive seasons, blocking for 1999/2001 MVP Kurt Warner and 2000 MVP Marshall Faulk.
