Pro Football Focus released its national team of the week on Sunday, and Duke offensive lineman Caleb Krings earned a nomination at left guard for his performance against the North Carolina Tar Heels.
Krings, who transferred to the Blue Devils from Elon this offseason, earned an offensive grade of 91.9 against UNC, his highest score of the season. The popular football analytics site awarded Krings with a 92.8 run-blocking grade and an 88.1 pass-blocking grade.
Across his 170 pass-blocking snaps this season, the first-year Blue Devil hasn’t allowed a hurry since his lone blemish against his former team in Week 1.
The Duke offense has averaged 150.3 rushing yards per game and 3.92 yards per carry over the past three weeks, and the Blue Devils offensive line has only given up seven sacks through Week 5.
Krings also made the PFF ACC Team of the Week in Week 2 after he earned a 73.4 offensive grade against the Northwestern Wildcats.
