The Chargers’ run on offensive linemen in free agency continued with the additions of Matt Feiler and Oday Aboushi. Linsley has never graded below 70.0 in pass protection in his seven-year NFL career, and he’s coming off a 2020 season in which he ranked above the 80th percentile in positively graded run blocks and limiting negatively graded run blocks. They brought in PFF’s highest-graded center from the 2020 season, Corey Linsley, to anchor the group. General manager Tom Telesco and the rest of Los Angeles' front office have seemingly taken those struggles to heart. The only group to post a worse overall grade across the past five seasons was Miami’s offensive line in 2019.

They were owners of a 48.8 PFF grade as a unit, lower than any other team in the NFL. Los Angeles' offensive line ended the 2020 season at No. Just last week, I made the argument that the Chargers’ offensive line is the single most improved positional group in the NFL.

An offensive line that offers little to no resistance against opposing pass rushes and creates no push in the run game is one of the quickest ways to derail an otherwise competent offense.
