Jason Kelce continues to get better with time and the top center in the NFL is finally getting his due among the top overall linemen in football.

Pro Football Focus recently ranked the top-25 interior linemen in the NFL and the gnarly veteran landed at No. 3 on the list behind Zach Martin and Quenton Nelson.

After coming into the league as a sixth-round selection out of Cincinnati, Kelce has turned into arguably the best center in the league — and that’s exactly where he comes in on this list. He’s not in the same league as someone like Rodney Hudson when it comes to pass protection, but Kelce does do a good job of keeping the quarterback upright. Where he really differentiates himself, though, is in his ability to get out in space and maintain blocks in the running game.

Kelce is a three-time Pro Bowler coming off his third straight first-team All-Pro season, ranking as PFF’s top-graded center, both overall and in run-blocking, in 2019.
