The NFL’s best offensive tackles, No. 6: Joe Staley, 49ers

Joe Staley is the Old Faithful of offensive linemen.

Staley, who will be 32 in August, is the Old Faithful of offensive linemen. He’s no longer completely dominant thanks to the eroding talent around him, but you’d be hard pressed to find many others that are as consistent as the mammoth bookend. Pass rushers find it a big pain to get around the 6’ 5” Staley once he extends his long arms, while blockers don’t like to take him on in the run game because he plays with great pad level.
