Zach Strief detractors, you're not going to like this.
The New Orleans Saints right tackle is, once again, having one of the better seasons of his career through the first five games of his 11th season. He might not be the fleetest of foot, and he knows it. But he more than gets the job done.
Strief ranks as the seventh-best tackle in the league, according to Pro Football Focus. Not seventh-best right tackle, but seventh-best overall tackle. The Browns' Joe Thomas and the Cowboys' Tyron Smith rank directly behind him.
