BEST RUN BLOCKING OFFENSIVE LINEMEN 2028 NFL Draft

2028 BEST RUN BLOCKING OFFENSIVE LINEMEN

Run blocking grade scores what a lineman does on running plays: winning at the point of attack, climbing to the second level, sustaining and finishing. It is the trait most likely to translate immediately, since it depends more on strength and technique than on the speed of the pass rush. Quenton Nelson (Notre Dame) and Brandon Scherff (Iowa) were both dominant run blockers in college.

Below, draft-eligible offensive linemen are ranked by run blocking grade, with pass blocking grade and overall rating alongside.
