Staley 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 left tackle. Pass rushers find it a big pain to get around the 6' 5" Staley once he extends his long arms, and blockers don’t like to take him on in the run game because he plays with great pad level.
