Wyatt Teller earns Top 20 ranking from Pro Football Focus

CINCINNATI – Pro Football Focus released its list of the top 101 NFL players for the 2020 season and Tech alum Wyatt Teller ranked No. 18 overall. T Trent Williams (San Francisco) was the only NFL offensive lineman who graded higher that Teller. The Cleveland Browns guard was an All-Pro selection by PFF after helping lead the franchise back to the playoffs in 2020.

The PFF Top 101 represents the top 101 individual performances this season, regardless of position, and credits the best players of the season that was.

  • This list is based solely on 2020 play. Past or future play is not accounted for. This isn't about class or talent; it's about performance throughout the 2020 NFL season.
  • This list is created with an "all positions are created equal" mantra. So, you won't see 32 quarterbacks heading the list, even though that is the game's most valuable position. Instead, we take a look at how guys played relative to what is expected from their position.


 "Right guard was actually something of a problem spot for selection this season. All of the best-performing players at the position missed time, and some were sidelined for significant portions of the season. Wyatt Teller played just 694 snaps, including nullified plays, some 300 shy of a full season. Still, he was far better than those players who did make it to over 1,000 snaps. Teller was the best run-blocking guard in the league and became a huge issue for the Browns when they lost him from the right side of their line. His pass blocking wasn't stellar, but he still allowed just 14 total pressures all season." 
– Sam Monson: Pro Football Focus

The Browns won their first game in the NFL Playoffs since 1994 by beating Pittsburgh by a 48-37 margin at Heinz Field in an AFC Wild Card contest before eventually falling in the AFC Divisional Playoffs at Kansas City. Teller entered the NFL as a fifth-round pick of Buffalo in the 2018 NFL Draft before being traded to Cleveland. He originally came to Blacksburg as a defensive line prospect before moving to the offensive side of the ball.
