The Cleveland Browns have been known for their strong offensive line play since head coach Kevin Stefanski took over in 2020. While their play took a small step back last year (predominantly due to injuries to every member of the unit except right guard Wyatt Teller), they are still one of the top units in the league.
And Texans Wire’s Cole Thompson reiterates that in his latest offensive line rankings as OTAs are set to begin soon. Returning all five offensive lineman (really six if we consider Jack Conklin as well, who is now reduced to a reserve role after the emergence of Dawand Jones), the Browns have a strong foundation to build from offensively. But where do they rank among all 32 units around the league?
These rankings used all of the rankings atFootballguys,FTN FantasyandPro Football Network to compile a composite ranking. Here is how Texans Wire ranked all of the offensive lines in the NFL using this method.
