Cleveland Browns mid-season awards: MVP, best coach, top players

Offensive MVP: Wyatt Teller

As it has been talked about time and time again, the improvements this offensive line has made have been outstanding. A big reason for their success? Right guard Wyatt Teller.

Teller has been graded better than just about any other guard this season, and before having to sit for a few weeks due to injury, he has been well on his way to a Pro-Bowl season.

Teller lost weight, enabling him to be more agile and quicker off the line. That said, that isn’t a good enough explanation for Teller flipping a switch that nobody thought he was going to overnight. Did he get on a better training plan this offseason? Eating better? Better body recovery? All of these things are options, but making such a leap in production in such a short amount of time is something we haven’t seen in a long time.

Getting Teller back will be another huge boost for the Browns and their offensive line. Not only because of the production, but the other guys on the line know they have their last starting piece with them, one that has just dominated so far this year.

Nobody knows just how long Teller will be able to continue this surge in production for the Browns, but I think they are okay with riding the wave of production as long as it lasts. Again, when you are good in the trenches, you can do anything you want on offense.
