Former Steeler Kevin Dotson Named NFL’s Second-Best Guard, Top Run Blocker

Just to twist the knife one more time (until he signs his major free agency contract, that is), Kevin Dotson had his best year in the NFL this season, months after being traded by the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Los Angeles Rams. But it wasn’t only a good year by his standards. According to PFF, he was one of the best linemen in football, graded out as the league’s second-best guard and its top-rated run blocker.

With final regular season numbers tallied, Dotson finished 2023 with an 85.2 overall grade, second in the NFL of any guard who blocked on at least half his team’s snaps this season.
