Yesterday I talked about a lineman on the Raiders who was very highly touted, today let’s talk about another. In a recent poll from ESPN, Rodney Hudson was ranked as the sixth-best interior offensive lineman in the NFL.
You can make the case that his ranking is far too low, and for good reason. He’s been great for the Raiders on a year-to-year basis. According to Pro Football Focus, a website a lot of people consider one of the best when it comes to rating players, they had Hudson ranked either first or second every season in their pass-blocking grades from 2014-19.
