The Rockville Centre, NY native is turning his season around. Since Week 5, Van Roten has allowed only two pressures over 150 protection snaps, a rate of 1.3% that ranks second-best among 64 qualified guards over that span.
Van Roten was knocked with zero pressures allowed against Kansas City.
On this play, Van Roten shuts down two blitzers. He picks up the safety and passes him inside before turning his attention to the linebacker attempting to rush through the B-gap, picking him up and giving Sam Darnold enough time to find Braxton Berrios for a first down.
