The Seahawks signed Austin Blythe to a one-year deal last March with the intention of him taking over as their starting center after letting Ethan Pocic walk. The results weren’t great. Blythe posted an average pass protection grade and a poor run blocking grade for the year, winding up at 51.2 overall at the end of the season.
That put Blythe near the bottom of Pro Football Focus’ rankings for the position. Here’s all 38 centers they ranked for the year.
