Totally agreed. We can acknowledge that he’s been much better without exaggerating how good he is.

And that’s ignoring penalties, run blocking, and the fact that the best pass rushers are naturally going to skew toward feasting on our LT situation.
Today's NFL has pass rushers over each side. He's getting his fair share of reps against whoever.
And he's a high level pass blocking RT. Outside the penalties, some of which are nitpicky, he's a really good player.

He’s not Top 3, but is this an instance when we acknowledge PFF grades, or we ignore them?
