Well, well, well. Despite all of the heat Jedrick Wills takes from the fanbase, the left tackle ranks second in pass rush win rate for the Cleveland Browns through three weeks. Only Minnesota Vikings’ tackle Brian O’Neill falls above him in this metric. This is helping the Browns move the ball at a high level offensively.
Thus far, Wills has faced pass rushers like Brian Burns of the Carolina Panthers, Carl Lawson and first round pick Jermaine Johnson of the New York Jets, and Alex Highsmith of the Pittsburgh Steelers. This is not a bad crop of pass rushers to hit this high standard against.
This may be more of a narrative of what happens when the Browns have a quarterback who can get the ball out in a timely manner as well.
As @SeifertESPN pointed out yesterday, Brian O'Neill should also be getting plenty of attention for how consistently excellent he's been. He leads all tackles in pass block win rate through three weeks. Such a reliable player and leader for the Vikings. https://t.co/7ZtEvsO59T pic.twitter.com/mwCb44j2KT
