ESPN named Taliese Fuaga the NFL's best rookie left tackle (9 Viewers)

[BBarnes]

#1 out of how many? Just a weird headline here if it’s #1 of 3.

“From a grading perspective, Fuaga graded out at 65.7 on Pro Football Focus. That came in 53rd out of 141 offensive tackles”. Not bad at all for a rookie.

“What hurt him the most were penalties (122nd), sacks allowed (121st), hits allowed (9th) and total pressures allowed (130th). He had a 69.5 run blocking grade (41st) and a 62.2 pass blocking grade (77th)”

My thoughts too....where did he rank for rookie left tackles that's last name starts with an "F"?

But his PFF numbers aren't the highest how can this be?

The headline should be 1st team all rookie. Just a weird way to say it.

That’s awesome.

And only 22 years of age.

One of the very few bright spots from an otherwise miserable year.

Probably first since Fashanu was a backup for a large part of the year.

I think it probably is 1 of 4. At least out of the 1st round guys because Alt and Mims are playing RT. Morgan is playing RG. I think it’s out of him and Latham, Fashanu, Guyton. At least for the 1st round guys.

Chiefs 1st rounder Kingsley Suamataia opened the season as the starter at LT and started a few games before losing the starting job.

Washington LT Brandon Coleman is a rookie.
