2026 NFL Offensive Line Rankings, All 32 Teams

As a feature in the 2026 Sharp Football Preview Book, the Sharp Football Analysis team ranked positional units across the league for the 2026 season, including the best and worst NFL offensive lines.

The ranking guidelines were specific to the voter, with the only requirement that the focus be on the upcoming season only, not the future outlook.

With a combination of numbers, film, and projections, the rankings were averaged for quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers/tight ends, offensive line, defensive front seven, defensive secondary, and head coach.

Next up: 2026 NFL offensive line rankings.

2026 NFL Offensive Line Rankings

Score based on average ranks of positional unit (on a 100-point scale) for all 32 teams, from Sharp Football staff voters. If all voters had a team at #1, that score would be 100.

What team has the best offensive line in the NFL?

32. Cleveland Browns

The Browns' offensive line ranked in our top five as recently as 2024, but not a single starter remains on the roster from that unit. Cleveland used eight offensive line combinations for at least 50 snaps last year and will be starting all over again with six additions to the two-deep and likely four new starters. 

31. Houston Texans

It’s going to be tough for C.J. Stroud to make the necessary strides playing behind this offensive line. Houston added rookie Keylan Rutledge and veterans Wyatt Teller and Braden Smith, who have missed a combined 17 games over the last two seasons, in hopes of turning things around quickly. 

30. Tennessee Titans

Tennessee needed to shake up the offensive line, but Austin Schlottmann, Cordell Volson, and Austin Deculus probably aren’t going to move the needle. Titans running backs were contacted at or behind the line of scrimmage on 47% of attempts last year (ranked 24th), and there’s little reason to expect improvement. 

29. Miami Dolphins

Miami’s offensive line returns four starters, with first-round pick Kadyn Proctor expected to step in at left guard. The unit allowed pressure in 2.5 seconds or less on 23% of dropbacks last year, ranked 19th. 

28. Cincinnati Bengals

Cincinnati decided to run it back with essentially the same offensive line as a season ago, only adding rookies Brian Parker and Connor Lew. When the primary five starters were on the field together, Bengals running backs averaged 1.4 yards before contact per attempt, ranked 30th out of 48 qualified offensive line combinations. 

27. Green Bay Packers

Jordan Morgan is expected to get his first shot at left tackle after spending most of his first two seasons at guard. The Packers will also turn to Sean Rhyan to replace Elgton Jenkins at center and hope to have better injury luck on the right side of their line. 

26. Arizona Cardinals

Up front, the offensive line took a major step backward to 26th from 12th last year. Paris Johnson Jr. remains at left tackle after allowing 5 sacks in 12 games, but the Cardinals added Isaac Seumalo and Elijah Wilkinson in free agency to play left guard and right tackle, respectively, adding a much-needed veteran presence. Rookie second-round pick Chase Bisontis is penciled in as the starter at right guard.

25. Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders' offensive line allowed Jeanty to get contacted at or behind the line of scrimmage on 54% of his carries, the league’s second-worst rate. However, there’s good reason to expect improvement due to Kolton Miller’s return (he played just four games last year) and the free agent addition of Tyler Linderbaum. 

24. Baltimore Ravens

Baltimore’s offensive line received votes ranging from 17th to 29th. The wide range is likely a reflection of the uncertainty of how the unit will perform without Tyler Linderbaum at center, and with a rookie (Vega Ioane) stepping in at left guard. The unit could also use more consistency from Ronnie Stanley, who only ranked 21st out of 35 left tackles in pressure rate allowed last year. 

23. Kansas City Chiefs

Ranking the Chiefs' offensive line was difficult due to the discrepancy between the talent and the production of the unit as a whole. Offensive line coach Andy Heck always gets more from his unit than the sum of its parts. Chiefs running backs were contacted at or behind the line of scrimmage on just 40% of their carries, the league’s fifth-lowest rate. 

22. Washington Commanders

Laremy Tunsil failed to make the Pro Bowl for the first time since 2021, but right tackle Josh Conerly Jr. needs to really step things up after allowing 8 sacks and 43 total pressures last year.

21. Pittsburgh Steelers

Pittsburgh’s offensive line might have been our most polarizing unit, with votes ranging from sixth to 28th. Some of the variation likely stems from the difficulty in assessing the unit’s pass protection ability due to Rodgers’ tendency to get rid of the ball so quickly. The Steelers’ 25% pressure rate allowed led the league, but Rodgers also got rid of the ball in under 2.0 seconds on a league-high 38% of his dropbacks. 

20. New York Giants

The key for this unit is left tackle Andrew Thomas staying healthy. He played 13 games in 2025 and finished eighth among tackles in pass-block win rate.

19. New York Jets

The Jets return four starters on the offensive line, but is that a good thing? This unit allowed pressure in 2.5 seconds or less on 24.5% of dropbacks last year, ranked 27th. Recent first-round picks Olu Fashanu and Armand Membou need to make a leap forward for this unit to ascend to even a league-average level. 

18. Dallas Cowboys

Injuries to LT Tyler Guyton and C Cooper Beebe forced the Cowboys to shuffle the left side of their line most of last year, with mixed results.

17. Jacksonville Jaguars

Jacksonville returns all five starters to the offensive line, though rookie Emmanuel Pregnon might push for immediate playing time at guard. The key to the unit’s success will be figuring out the left tackle position. Walker Little ranked 29th out of 33 qualified left tackles in pressure rate allowed (9.0%) before he was benched. Veteran backup Cole Van Lanen stepped in and allowed a 5.7% rate, which would have ranked eighth if qualified, but can he replicate that over a full season?

16. New Orleans Saints

Better continuity and health in 2025 helped protect the quarterback and create run lanes. The front office added interior depth and a swing tackle in free agency and the draft, positioning the unit for continued gains in pass protection.

15. New England Patriots

Votes for the Patriots' offensive line ranged from 11th to 23rd. Both their postseason performance and that range might be explained by a variety of opinions on left tackle Will Campbell. New England’s rookie left tackle was steady during the regular season (5.8% pressure rate allowed) but exposed against better defenses in the playoffs (12.3% pressure rate allowed).

14. Detroit Lions

The Detroit offensive line took the largest hit on the team, falling to 14th from third a year ago. Penei Sewell is expected to transition to left tackle for the first time in his career, and the Lions drafted Blake Miller in the first round to take over on the right side.

13. Minnesota Vikings

Minnesota's offensive line slipped to 13th from fifth after an injury-riddled 2025. The unit was excellent in pass protection early in 2025, but dealt with injuries and regression on the interior. Christian Darrisaw anchors the left side, but he has missed 17 games over the past two seasons. Minnesota had three different players take over 300 snaps at center last year.

12. Carolina Panthers

Better health and continuity in 2025 helped the unit protect Bryce Young more effectively last season, and the Panthers drafted Monroe Freeling in the first round to compete with Taylor Moton for playing time at right tackle. Left tackle Ikem Ekwonu is still rehabbing a knee injury, but the Panthers signed former Packer Rasheed Walker to fill in if he misses time.

11. Indianapolis Colts

The Colts offensive line was steady last year, greatly benefiting from having one of the healthiest units in the league. The primary starters played 65% of the snaps, the league’s fifth-highest rate. Four of those five starters return. 

10. Atlanta Falcons

The unit finished 14th in pass block win rate in 2025. They added former Chief Jawaan Taylor in free agency to play right tackle following Kaleb McGary’s retirement. The Falcons’ line was very healthy last year, with four starters playing over 1,000 snaps at their respective positions.

9. Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks offensive line was the biggest mover on their side of the ball, leaping 21 spots into the top 10 this year. Three of the five starters played all 20 games last year, and Sam Darnold was pressured on just 21% of his dropbacks.

8. Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers' offensive line likely would rank higher if we had faith in the unit’s health. Their most common offensive line grouping was on the field for just 181 plays last year 一 16.5% of the team’s total snaps, the league’s lowest rate. 

7. San Francisco 49ers

Trent Williams remains one of the best left tackles in football, ranking fifth among tackles in run-block win rate in 2025 and 20th in pass-block win rate. Across the board, Pro Football Focus attributed just 16 sacks as the fault of the 49ers' offensive line last season.

6. Chicago Bears

Left tackle Ozzy Trapilo remains out after suffering a torn patellar tendon in last year’s playoffs, but the Bears added veteran Jedrick Wills to fill the void. Garrett Bradbury was also added in free agency to play center, and he will compete with second-round pick Logan Jones for the starting spot.

5. Los Angeles Rams

The Rams had four of their five starters play at least 1,000 snaps at their position, riding that health and continuity to elite results. All five starters from last year’s unit return, and Keagen Trost was drafted in the third round to provide depth at tackle.

4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tristan Wirfs remains one of the best tackles in the NFL, allowing just 2 sacks and 23 total pressures in 2025. The rest of the line dealt with injuries last year, but if the starters can stay healthy, this is an elite unit across the board.

3. Buffalo Bills

The Bills' offensive line returns four starters, only losing left guard David Andrews. The unit played a key role in the run game’s success, as Bills’ running backs were hit at or behind the line of scrimmage on just 38% of attempts, the league’s third-lowest rate.

2. Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles enter 2026 without Jeff Stoutland as their offensive line coach, but hope to rebound with some injury luck. Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, and Lane Johnson all missed time due to injury in 2025, and the Eagles offense suffered as a result. Still, the panel believes in the Eagles' pedigree up front, dropping them down just one spot behind the Broncos.

1. Denver Broncos

Denver’s offensive line was our only unanimous selection for the top spot at any unit. Left tackle Garett Bolles played a key role, leading all left tackles in pressure rate allowed (2.9%).
