The offensive linemen of the NFL often fly under the radar, yet players like Hjalte Froholdt and Paris Johnson Jr. of the Arizona Cardinals, and Bernhard Raimann of the Indianapolis Colts, have emerged as significant contributors to their teams' success. Raimann recently signed a lucrative four-year, $100 million extension, underscoring his value despite being underrated by fans. Meanwhile, Johnson, a former top-10 draft pick, has shown impressive growth, particularly playing left tackle, where he ranked first among his peers in PFF grading for his first two seasons.

Raimann has consistently delivered high performance, earning an 88.0 PFF grade over the last two seasons, placing him among the league's elite left tackles. His pass-blocking skills have ranked him in the top tier, proving essential for the Colts' offensive line. Johnson, on the other hand, has transitioned between positions but excelled in 2024 as a left tackle, allowing minimal pressure on his quarterback, a critical factor for the Cardinals' offensive structure.
