Marcus Gilbert Posts Highest Pass-Blocking Efficiency Among Right Tackles In 2016

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ former second-round pick has grown tremendously over the course of the past three seasons after getting off to a relatively inconsistent start to his career—largely due to injuries—in his first three seasons.

According to a graphic that Pro Football Focus posted earlier this morning, Gilbert was the most efficient pass protector at right tackle in the entire league a year ago, and the fifth-most overall, behind four of the premiere left tackles in today’s game.
