PFF’s media research team has been hard at work this week, preparing for kickoff by pulling data-driven insights and talking points for our broadcast partners around the league. Now, we’re sharing those same nuggets with you.

As the regular season ends, we’ll highlight the highest-graded run-blockers and run defenders from each position.

To no one’s surprise, the Cleveland Browns finished the 2025 season as the NFL’s top defensive line.

Detroit Lions offensive tackle Penei Sewell has been among the NFL’s best offensive linemen, but he took his play to another level in 2025, earning PFF Protector of the Year honors.

By analyzing chip-block and double-team rates, we can identify which NFL defenders consistently face extra attention in the trenches and still manage to make an impact.
