2023 Pre-Season Rank #16, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #16, 2021 Pre-Season Rank: #23, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #27.  Peak Period: 2013-17

For multiple reasons, Tyron Smith intrigues us the most among the Offensive linemen we have ranked in 2024. 

From 2013 to 2019, Smith was considered the best (or close to) Left Tackle in the business, attending every Pro Bowl and earning four All-Pros (two First Team and two Second Team).  However, his performance has been marred by injuries in the 2020 and 2022 seasons, raising questions about what he has left, though he did answer with a nice bounce back in 2023.

Now the Tackle has moved on from Dallas after 13 years to join the New York Jets, but is doing so at a time when the Jets are a questionable squad.   It is getting harder for Offensive Linemen to enter the Hall, and eight Pro Bowls and multiple First-Team All-Pros don’t always cut it (ask Richmond Webb who has seven Pro Bowls and multiple All-Pros).  Longevity might be his key.
