1. Wyatt Teller, RG

Right guard was considered the weak link of the offensive line heading into this season, but it wound up being the line’s greatest strength. Wyatt Teller was traded from the Buffalo Bills to Cleveland after the 2019 preseason and took over for Eric Kush at the midseason point. He was solid in pass protection, but struggled in the run game, as he had played on the left side his entire career.

This season, it’s been a completely different story. Teller is Pro Football Focus’s highest-graded offensive lineman at 93.6, and has been downright dominant in the run game. He is incredibly physical and sets the tone for the Browns rushing attack, as they’ve struggled to run ball effectively without him.

Teller is absolutely deserving of a Pro Bowl nod and First-Team All-Pro. But name recognition is something he doesn’t have quite yet.
