Analysis on Taylor Lewan

So, now that we know who I wouldn’t put ahead of Lewan, let’s look at what PFN actually said about the Pro Bowler:

"Taylor Lewan gets a lot of attention for his off-field attention-seeking antics. However, his play for the Titans down the stretch was undeniable last year. He possesses excellent length and is an incredible athlete for someone of his size. He paved the way for Derrick Henry to lead the league in rushing yards, while also protecting Ryan Tannehill’s blindside as he would go on to lead the NFL in quarterback rating. Lewan has dealt with injuries and a suspension over the past two seasons, but if he can play a full season this year, he should continue to be a top-10 tackle in the NFL."

All of that is good insight, but again I don’t see how being injured for one game over the last four seasons is comparable to anything that guys like Tyron Smith or Trent Williams have struggled with over the last 4+ seasons.
