Offensive line play remains one of the most misunderstood and underrated parts of the game, even as fans get more knowledgeable every year thanks to the wealth of football #content out there. You probably don’t need to remind Seahawks fans how important that unit can be, though. They have had to suffer through poor offensive line play for a long time, with that front line usually ranking somewhere between mediocre and atrocious for most seasons during the Pete Carroll era.
Carroll might be gone, but heading into the 2024 season we may be in for more of the same. Seattle is spending less money on this unit than any other team thanks to four projected starters playing on their rookie contracts and most analysts are not very high on this group. Let’s see where the Seahawks offensive line ranks compared to the rest of the competition.
Today we’ll be sharing a composite ranking for all 32 OL units around the league. To arrive at our composite, we made an average of the most recent offensive line rankings at Footballguys, FTN Fantasy and Pro Football Network.
