Doesn’t matter how good a quarterback or running back is if he doesn’t have time to make a play.
That’s why offensive linemen are the unsung heroes of the NFL. It can be a thankless position that on gameday more commonly gets recognized for a mistake that leads to a sack than a success that leads to a gain.
The offensive lines that best minimize those mistakes and provide ample pass protection and run blocking are arguably the most valuable players on the field behind the quarterback.
Here are some of the top projected offensive lines heading into the 2022 NFL season:
LT David Bakhtiari, LG Jon Runyan, C Josh Myers, RG Royce Newman, RT Elgton Jenkins
Injury concerns are keeping this unit from ranking higher on the list.
