Las Vegas Raiders Have the Best Pass Blocking in the NFL

As training camp approaches, the Las Vegas Raiders will enter with the best pass-blocking offensive line in the NFL.

According to PFF, the Raiders rank at the top of the list for pass blocking protection and the 11th-best offensive line in the league.

Continuity is one of the most important aspects any team needs to have to succeed and, most importantly, in the offensive line.

Luckily for the Raiders, they’re returning all five starters from a year ago.

A group that gave up 29 sacks in 2019, eight-least in the NFL, is poised to improve this year. That was a number far better than 2018, when they surrendered 52 sacks, fifth-most in the league.

The Raiders offensive line will continue to be anchored by the best center in the NFL-- Rodney Hudson, much-improved young left tackle Kolton Miller, guards Richie Incognito and Gabe Jackson, and right tackle Trent Brown.

In 2019, the Raiders finished in the middle of the ranks at both the pass and run blocking. Dealing with injuries, the Raiders did a great job filling in those holes and managed to finish at No. 15 in pass blocking and 18th in run blocking.

Raiders’ center Rodney Hudson was named best center in the league for the fifth year in a row. His 92.1 grade as a pass-blocker leads the NFL. Hudson and Brown were both selected to the Pro Bowl.

Left guard Richie Incognito returned to the NFL to post the highest pass-blocking grade of his career at 88.5 — ranked second-best among guards.
