No. 15 Mitchell Schwartz:
“Mitchell Schwartz had one of the greatest postseason runs in NFL history at any position, but few will have truly appreciated it because he played right tackle, where the position’s best play manifests itself by going unnoticed. In 140 snaps of pass blocking — most of them in disadvantageous, hurry-up situations against top pass-rushers — Schwartz allowed just one hurry and nothing else. In the Super Bowl, he was able to lock down his side of the line while Nick Bosa laid waste to the other side. Schwartz was one of a number of right tackles to excel this season, but none of the others did what he did in the postseason.”
You won’t find me complaining about this ranking. Just last week, I had Schwartz as one of our underappreciated performers from Super Bowl LIV. Being underrated has been constant throughout his career, but the statistics don’t lie. He was superb during this postseason and ensured the protection of Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes all season long. He wasn’t half bad at blocking in the running game either.
