Best NFL offensive lines 2025: Ranking 10 best offensive lines in NFL right now
While the quarterback is the most important position in the NFL, their sustained success relies heavily on the offensive line. The best NFL offensive lines right now are largely leading the way for some of the league's best offenses.
Let's dive into our rankings of the 10 best offensive lines in the NFL entering the 2025 season.
1. Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles have the best offensive line in the NFL. In 2024, they gave up just 110 pressures (7th fewest) and 32 QB hits (5th fewest), excelling in both pass protection and run blocking. Philadelphia ranked 6th in ESPN's pass-block win rate (67%) and 9th in run-block win rate (72%). This offensive line is a cornerstone of what makes the Eagles' offense so dangerous. Philadelphia will also have continuity on the offensive line in 2025, with four returning starters and Mekhi Becton's replacement (Tyler Sheen) being an internal promotion. Plus, the Eagles have the added benefit of employing the best offensive line coach in the NFL.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers showed significant improvement from one year to the next. In 2023, they allowed 40 sacks while ranking 12th in ESPN's pass-block win rate (61%). Tristan Wirfs transitioned smoothly to left tackle, rookie Graham Barton held his own, and Cody Mauch had a breakout year. Their progress in the trenches also fueled a dramatic turnaround in the ground game, going from 3.4 yards per carry (ypc) and 88.8 rushing yards per game (ypg) to 5.3 ypc and 149.2 rush ypg in just one season. Best of all, this is a young offensive line with plenty of room for further growth.

3. Denver Broncos

Plenty of the focus for the Denver Broncos' improvement in 2024 centered on quarterback Bo Nix, but it's crucial to appreciate how well the Broncos' offensive line dominated last season. Denver finished first in ESPN's pass-block win rate (74%) and run-block win rate (75%). They also allowed the second-lowest pressure rate (15.8%) with the second-best average time to throw (2.5 seconds). This marks a great improvement compared to 2023 (25.2% pressure rate). It's a testament to the strength of this front. If center Luke Wattenberg can take a step forward, the Buccaneers' offensive line could become the best in football.
4. Detroit Lions

If not for the retirement of All-Pro center Frank Ragnow, the Detroit Lions would likely rank even higher among the best offensive lines in the NFL. It's a testament to the skill of offensive line coach Hank Fraley that, despite having two projected first-year starters (Christian Mahogany and Tate Ratledge), this line should still be a top-tier unit. Having two standout pillars at offensive tackle certainly helps, and there's also depth, with Graham Glasgow capable of starting at both guard and center. While the addition of two new starters may cause some early-season inconsistencies, we're confident in the long-term outlook for this unit.

5. Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills offensive line has made a real transformation in recent years. Left tackle Dion Dawkins and center Connor McGovern earned Pro Bowl selections in 2024, leading the way for a front five that allowed the third-lowest pressure rate (16.1 percent) in the league. Buffalo also ranked fourth in ESPN pass-block win rate (68 percent) while allowing the fewest sacks per game (1.0). Buffalo also gets a boost here for continuity, with all five starters returning. It's fair to argue that Josh Allen makes this line better than it really is, but the numbers and cohesion on the offensive line hold a lot of value.

6. Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings' offensive line immediately gets a boost from the return of left tackle Christian Darrisaw, who has played at a near All-Pro level in his career. Minnesota also overhauled its interior line, spending a first-round pick on Donovan Jackson and adding former Indianapolis Colts linemen Ryan Kelly and Will Fries through free agency. There's some risk in projecting this group as a top-six offensive line—especially with three new starters on the interior—but Minnesota could have above-average starters at all five spots.

The Baltimore Ravens retained Ronnie Stanley this offseason, which was one of the most important moves of the offseason. Stanley proved, when healthy, He can still play at an extremely high level and the redevelopment from Roger Rosengarten gives Baltimore two high-end starters at tackle. On the interior, Tyler Linderbaum is a two-time Pro Bowl selection at center to give the Ravens three premium blockers. It's the guard spots – Andrew Vorhees and Daniel Faalele – that are the big concerns with this unit.

The Atlanta Falcons boast arguably the best interior lineman in the NFL, guard Chris Lindstrom, with three other returning starters around him in 2025. The one area of concern here is what happens at center following the departure of Drew Dalman. All in all, this is a good offensive line that should provide quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with strong protection in 2025 and beyond.

9. Los Angeles Chargers

If ranking the best tackle tandems in the NFL, the Los Angeles Chargers would be near the top of the list. Rashawn Slater has All-Pro talent and Joe Alt was tremendous in his rookie season. That's a great starting point for Los Angeles. It gets shaky once you kick inside. Mekhi Becton excelled with the Eagles, but that might be a product of the help around him. Fellow interior lineman Bradley Bozeman and Zion Johnson are two glaring weak links on this line.

Several teams were considered for the 10th spot—the Washington Commanders, Kansas City Chiefs, and Chicago Bears—but continuity and coaching matter a lot. The Green Bay Packers are among the best teams in the league at developing offensive linemen, with tackles Rasheed Walker and Zach Tom serving as prime examples. Elgton Jenkins is moving from guard to center this season, and his versatility and skill set give him a Pro Bowl ceiling. As for Aaron Banks, health will be key, but the team's investment in him suggests he'll be a high-end starter. The Packers' offensive line also has plenty of depth, with players capable of playing multiple positions.

Mets send slumping catcher Francisco Alvarez to minors
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Scuffling catcher Francisco Alvarez was demoted to the minors by the New York Mets on Sunday. The team optioned Alvarez to Triple-A Syracuse and recalled Hayden Senger from its top farm club before Sunday night's series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies. Senger will back up Luis Torrens, who replaces Alvarez as New York's primary catcher. The move comes after Alvarez went 2 for 5 with a 452-foot home run late in Saturday night's 11-4 victory over Philadelphia, which snapped a seven-game losing streak for the Mets. But he is batting only .236 with three homers, three doubles, 11 RBIs and a .652 OPS in 35 games this year. Alvarez was activated April 25 after beginning the season on the injured list with a hamate fracture in his left hand, and he missed two games this month while on the paternity list. The 23-year-old Alvarez, once rated baseball's best minor league prospect, had 25 homers and 63 RBIs with a .721 OPS as a rookie in 2023. Senger, 28, made his major league debut for the Mets this season and was batting .179 (5 for 28) in 13 big league games. New York began the day tied with Philadelphia atop the NL East. ___ AP MLB:

Morton looks to England to repair damaged confidence
Tyler Morton is repairing his confidence with the England Under-21s after the toughest season of his career. The Liverpool midfielder has helped the Young Lions reach the semi-finals of Euro 2025 after Saturday's 3-1 win over Spain. Advertisement Morton, though, will miss Wednesday's meeting with the Netherlands in Bratislava after collecting his second yellow card of the tournament. International success would come off the back of a frustrating campaign for the 22-year-old, who did not make a Premier League appearance as Liverpool won the title. He was restricted to just five appearances in cup competitions under Arne Slot. Morton said: "When you're not playing, your confidence gets shut down a little bit. So, it's nice to come back and play here and play with unbelievable footballers, unbelievable youngsters. "It's been the toughest season mentally for me. Obviously, I've coped with it very well because I've got good people around me, but it's been very tough. I think I've coped with it as well as I possibly could. Advertisement "I think when you're not playing as a footballer who's as hungry as I am, it does hurt. It's tough, especially when, in my opinion, I wanted to go out and I wanted to play and I wanted to go on loan and get my game time. "But having chatted with the manager, having to stay, it could have worked out a lot worse than it did. It probably could have worked out a lot better than it did." Under-21 and Liverpool team-mate Harvey Elliott made just two league starts last season - and has admitted he needs to consider his future at Anfield - while Jarell Quansah only started four league games. Liverpool opted to keep Morton after Middlesbrough had a bid rejected in February but he has kept an open mind about the campaign. Advertisement "Yes, the minutes have been very limited for all of us youngsters this year," he said. "But there's different playing styles with different managers. Yes, it's been a learning season. I think you've got to have these types of seasons where you're trying to learn."

Exclusive: Xhaka pushing for Milan move as Leverkusen resist
Granit Xhaka wants Milan with all his heart—he sees it as a bus he can't afford to miss at this stage of his career, especially as he's no longer a youngster. Bayer Leverkusen's hesitations, having already dismantled the squad by letting go of their most sought-after talents, stem from the fact that selling the midfielder would be another heavy blow to their outlook. But Xhaka has made his choice and doesn't intend to go back. LEVERKUSEN, GERMANY – APRIL 12: Granit Xhaka of Bayer 04 Leverkusen is seen during the Bundesliga match between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and 1. FC Union Berlin at BayArena on April 12, 2025 in Leverkusen, Germany. (Photo by) Milan need to get closer to the €15 million asking price for his transfer, well beyond any concerns related to his age (the club has always preferred younger players with potential resale value), especially after the deal made with Modric. Xhaka would add experience to Milan side LEVERKUSEN, GERMANY – MARCH 11: Granit Xhaka of Bayer 04 Leverkusen reacts at full time during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Round of 16 second leg match between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and FC Bayern München at BayArena on March 11, 2025 in Leverkusen, Germany. (Photo by) Xhaka played 33 times in Bundesliga for Leverkusen last season and although the player turns 33 in September, his vast experience in the German top flight and Premier League would be an important boost if Milan were to sign the midfielder.
