Trevor Penning was PFF’s top-rated offensive tackle this week

Trevor Penning was PFF’s top-rated offensive tackle this week. He isn’t a finished product just yet, but he’s trending in the right direction:

Trevor Penning just might make it. The New Orleans Saints right tackle was recognized as the highest-rated blocker of Week 10 at Pro Football Focus, with a 92.8 PFF player grade.

That’s impressive even with the subjective cautions that come with PFF grades. Penning had the league’s highest grade as a run blocker (4.7) and he was charged with allowing just one pressure on 27 snaps in pass protection. He’s really coming into his own after moving to the right side, even if he isn’t a finished project just yet.

He just needs to keep stacking good days and good games like this. The best thing you can say about an offensive tackle is how little you hear about him  on game days, and to his credit Penning has mostly stayed out of the spotlight by cleaning up his mistakes. Outside of a few poorly-timed penalties, anyway. Let’s see if he can keep it up.
