The offseason always coms with lists and rankings. Right now, Pro Football Focus is running its series of positional rankings.
They ranked the top 32 offensive tackles in the league.
Arizona Cardinals left tackle D.J. Humphries didn’t make the list.
After his first Pro Bowl appearance following the 2021 season, Humphries played in only eight games last season with a back injury.
His overall PFF grade in 2022 was 72.3, which was 30th among tackles.
Perhaps his time missed and the uncertainty regarding his back right now (there have been no reports about how he has recovered) kept him from being mentioned.
Humphries had only missed one game in the previous three seasons and that was with COVID and not an injury.
But he does turn 30 later this year.
Should he be in the top 32?
That’s a tough call coming off his injury, but he probably should be.
