Browns Duo Ranked the Best at Their Position in NFL

In this story:
When it comes to offensive line play, the Cleveland Browns are in the mix for being the best there. A lot of that has to do with the interior of the offensive line, specifically the guards. Pro Football Focus recently released an article where they ranked the best duo’s in the NFL at each position group, it included left guard Joel Bitonio and right guard Wyatt Teller.
Bitonio and Teller are one of just two guard duos to each rank inside the top 20 in PFF grade, the other being Teven Jenkins and Nate Davis, neither of whom topped 700 offensive snaps while both Bitonio and Teller each went over 900. Bitonio was his usual dominant self in 2022, finishing second with an 87.5 PFF grade while finishing with both pass-blocking and run-blocking grades over 80. This past season wasn’t the usual dominant year for Teller; however, he still finished 18th amongst guards in PFF grade at 70.3.
As mentioned by PFF, Teller wasn’t at his All-Pro form he was in 2020 and 2021, but he still got the job done. If he gets back to himself in 2023 — and there is no reason to believe that he shouldn’t — the Browns will benefit immensely from it. Teller is a player the Browns gave up a late-round pick for back in 2018 and he’s developed into a perennial Pro Bowl-level player.
Bitonio is in the midst of a career that is going to lead him to Canton, which enough people do not realize. Even though he’s entering his 10th season in the NFL, it was perhaps his last two seasons that were his best. He was a first-team recipient on the All-Pro team after being a second-team honoree the two previous years. He’s been doing this thing at a high level for quite some time now.
Cleveland is set at guard as long as they stay healthy, which there hasn’t been much to worry about with Bitonio, as he hasn’t missed time since 2016. Teller missed a pair of games last season and fought through some injuries that bothered his play throughout the season.
With one of the best running backs in the NFL Nick Chubb toting the ball, it will once again be enjoyable to see these two guards do work in the trenches during the 2023 season.
