Longtime Cleveland Browns left guard Joel Bitonio continues to earn accolades for his consistently strong play. Bitonio has played in the last two Pro Bowls and has been selected as a 2nd-team All-Pro in both 2018 and 2019. Now he’s solidly ranked in Touchdown Wire’s list of the top 11 guards in the NFL.
Bitonio checks in at No. 6 on analyst Doug Farrar’s list. The commentary reflects what Browns fans have come to know and love about Bitonio: his snap-to-snap consistency and steady improvement as a run blocker.
Few offensive linemen at any position can boast Bitonio’s combination of flexibility and effective power. He’s a perfect fit for the schemes new head coach and offensive shot-caller Kevin Stefanski prefers to run — Bitonio is built for a flexible zone run game and a boot-heavy passing attack.
Former Browns right guard Kevin Zeitler, now with the Giants, kicks off the list at No. 11.
