4. Mitchell Schwartz

Schwartz isn’t just the best right tackle in the NFL, he is one of the best players in the NFL period. Schwartz is a three-time Second-Team All-Pro and was named First-Team All-Pro in 2018.

Pro Football Focus graded him as the 15th best player in the NFL last season and highlighted his ridiculous postseason run.

"Mitchell Schwartz had one of the greatest postseason runs in NFL history at any position, but few will have truly appreciated it because he played right tackle, where the position’s best play manifests itself by going unnoticed. In 140 snaps of pass blocking — most of them in disadvantageous, hurry-up situations against top pass-rushers — Schwartz allowed just one hurry and nothing else. In the Super Bowl, he was able to lock down his side of the line while Nick Bosa laid waste to the other side. Schwartz was one of a number of right tackles to excel this season, but none of the others did what he did in the postseason."

One hurry in 140 snaps? Against some of the best competition in the NFL? GTFO Mitchell Schwartz!
