The 2024 OL Almanac
The first edition of the go-to resource for all things offensive line
Training camp is ramping up with the majority of rosters set minus a handful of holes that will likely be filled with available veterans (D.J. Humphries, David Bakhtiari, Donovan Smith, Charles Leno, Connor Williams, etc.) as they become more apparent and injuries occur. With camp opening, competitions getting sorted out and the regular season coming into view, now is a good time to take inventory of the offensive line world.
Since I already ranked the top 32 units into tiers for Establish the Run, I wanted to do something fresh and different here by siloing the line into their respective divisions using a collection of facts and analysis that will provide an informative look at how they stand relative to their peers. Look at this as a one-stop-shop for all things offensive line related for the 2024 season.
We will go division by division with analysis and fun facts about each offensive line unit. Their rank for each metric league-wide will also be provided (these will be updated prior to Week 1 once lineups are set):
Experience level (combined games started)
Combined age (youngest to oldest)
Total draft capital (highest to lowest)
Combined weight (heaviest to lightest)
Combined relative athletic score (RAS)
Weight-adjusted RAS ranking
Longest tenured line coaches
Breakout unit
Strongest/most powerful player
Highest paid units
Best contract value in 2024 cap dollars
Most represented college football conferences

Most athletic unit via their RAS
Division rank-Unit-Combined RAS-NFL rank
*There were 16 projected starters without a complete RAS score. The units with those players will be notated in the rankings below
AFC South
1. Colts: 47.3 RAS - 2nd highest in the NFL
2. Jaguars: 45.0 RAS - 4th highest in the NFL
3. Texans: 29.3 RAS - 25th highest in the NFL
LT Laremy Tunsil had an incomplete RAS as a prospect due to not participating in the 40-yard dash or agility drills at the combine or his pro day. Tunsil is clearly one of the most athletic tackles in the league, so it is fair to say the Texans would rank higher as a unit if Tunsil had a complete score.
4. Titans: 23.0 RAS - 30th highest in the NFL
LT JC Latham and projected starting RG Saahdiq Charles each have an incomplete RAS.
AFC West
1. Chargers: 39.4 RAS - 11th highest in the NFL
2. Chiefs: 38.1 RAS - 12th highest in the NFL
RT Jawaan Taylor does not have a completed RAS, but it didn’t negatively impact the Chiefs ranking due to the other four starters having a RAS of 8.32 (Wanya Morris) or higher. The strength of this unit is the interior trio who in addition to being excellent players, all have an elite RAS score of 9.89 or higher.
3. Raiders: 28.0 RAS - 28th highest in the NFL
LG Jackson Powers-Johnson does not have a completed RAS
4. Broncos: 24.2 RAS - 29th highest in the NFL
Projected starting C Alex Forsyth has an incomplete RAS (the starting center spot in Denver is very much up for grabs). RT Mike McGlinchey does not have a completed RAS
AFC East
1. Bills: 39.5 RAS - 10th highest in the NFL
2. Dolphins: 32.6 RAS - 21st highest in the NFL
LG Isaiah Wynn has an incomplete RAS.
3. Jets: 30.2 RAS - 24th highest in the NFL
Joe Tippmann has an incomplete RAS.
4. Patriots: 29.2 RAS - 26th highest in the NFL
RG Michael Onwenu has an incomplete RAS
AFC North
1. Steelers: 44.0 RAS - 5th highest in the NFL
2. Browns: 43.8 RAS - 6th highest in the NFL
3. Ravens: 33.8 RAS - 19th highest in the NFL
Projected starting LG Andrew Vorhees has an incomplete RAS.
4. Bengals: 19.4 RAS - 32nd highest in the NFL
LT Orlando Brown Jr. and RG Alex Cappa each have a RAS score under ‘3,’ sinking the unit’s overall ranking. Brown and Cappa are also the unit’s best overall players, which should serve as a reminder to not automatically equate a more athletic player on paper with a better player on the field.
NFC South
1. Falcons: 47.6 RAS - 1st highest in the NFL
2. Saints: 36.4 RAS - 14th highest in the NFL
RT Ryan Ramczyk has an incomplete RAS. Every other starter has a score of 8.53 or higher.
3. Panthers: 33.3 RAS - 20th highest in the NFL
RG Robert Hunt has an incomplete RAS.
4. Bucs: 29.0 RAS - 27th highest in the NFL
RT Luke Goedeke and projected starting LG Ben Bredeson have incomplete RAS's.
NFC West
1. Seahawks: 39.7 RAS - 9th highest in the NFL
2. 49ers: 35.3 RAS - 17th highest in the NFL
3. Cardinals: 30.6 RAS - 23rd highest in the NFL
LT Paris Johnson Jr. has an incomplete RAS.
4. Rams: 20.9 RAS - 31st highest in the NFL
RG Kevin Dotson has an incomplete RAS.
NFC East
1. Cowboys: 45.1 RAS - 3rd highest in the NFL
2. Eagles: 37.6 RAS - 13th highest in the NFL
LG Landon Dickerson has an incomplete RAS. Every other starter has a RAS of 8.61 (Jordan Mailata) or higher.
3. Commanders: 36.3 RAS - 15th highest in the NFL
C Tyler Biadasz has an incomplete RAS.
4. Giants: 30.9 RAS - 23rd highest in the NFL
RT Evan Neal has an incomplete RAS.
NFC North
1. Lions: 42.5 RAS - 7th highest in the NFL
2. Bears: 41.8 RAS - 8th highest in the NFL
3. Packers: 36.3 RAS - 16th highest in the NFL
C Josh Myers has an incomplete RAS
4. Vikings: 34.8 RAS - 18th highest in the NFL
LT Christian Darrisaw has an incomplete RAS
Weight-adjusted RAS ranking
Division rank-team-combined weight/RAS-weight adjusted NFL rank
AFC South
1. Jaguars: 1582 weight/45.0 RAS = T-4th best in the NFL
2. Colts: 1560 weight/47.3 RAS = T-10th best in the NFL
