The Browns offensive line has been a work in progress the last few seasons. But, year-by-year, this unit not only got better, but flourished in 2018. Which was great news for rookie QB Baker Mayfield.
There are two positions in football that are paramount to a team’s success: quarterback and offensive line. Yeh, yeh, offensive line is really five positions. But, essentially, the O-Line works in unison as one cohesive unit. When the O-Line is bad, rushing yards go down, interceptions go up, passing yards per game decrease, QB hits and hurries increase, scoring is down and receiver passing yards decline each game.
