As part of their part ongoing ranking of the best players at each position, ESPN recently released their Top 10 interior offensive lineman list. These rankings are determined via survey responses from NFL executives, coaches, and scouts across the league.
For the Ravens, who have been well-represented thus far in the other positional rankings thus far, center Tyler Linderbaum narrowly cracked the list at the No. 10 overall spot. He earned the nod through a tiebreaker with Carolina Panthers’ guard Robert Hunt.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler quoted a veteran NFL defensive coach saying Linderbaum “can do anything you want in the run game” and might be “the best center in the NFL” in the run blocking department.
