PFN ranks Taylor Lewan as a top-10 tackle…and it is still too low

Taylor Lewan remains one of the most underrated offensive linemen in the NFL.

Taylor Lewan’s stellar play is only eclipsed by his unique personality and honesty on his podcast, Bussin’ with the Boys (shoutout Will Compton as well).

I hate laying out blatant facts like that at the top of an article, but I needed to get that out of the way at the top because readers need to understand why I am choosing this bone to pick.

Pro Football Network has been a great follow and a great resource over the last year, so when they posted their top-25 offensive tackles you can bet that I carved out time in my day to really dig in and read that article.

It was really well thought out, but I have one problem with this list and that is Taylor Lewan is too low.

I can hear detractors say that being ranked in the top-10 is good enough, but it really isn’t. I want to take a quick look at some of the players in front of him who need to be moved down and then get into why Lewan isn’t given enough credit for the incredible job he has done so far.
