Dallas Cowboys guard Zack Martin repeated this year as the top interior offensive lineman in a survey of NFL coaches, scouts and executives conducted by ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Martin, who was also No. 1 in the survey last year, was one of seven different guards or centers to receive a first-place vote this year. The entire top 10 is as follows:

  1. Zack Martin (Dallas Cowboys)
  2. Chris Lindstrom (Atlanta Falcons)
  3. Quenton Nelson (Indianapolis Colts)
  4. Joe Thuney (Kansas City Chiefs)
  5. Joel Bitonio (Cleveland Browns)
  6. Landon Dickerson (Philadelphia Eagles)
  7. Creed Humphrey (Kansas City Chiefs)
  8. Frank Ragnow (Detroit Lions)
  9. Trey Smith (Kansas City Chiefs)
  10. Elgton Jenkins (Green Bay Packers)

Martin, 33, has been widely regarded as an elite offensive lineman ever since entering the league as a first-round pick in 2014, as he has earned nine Pro Bowl nods, seven All-Pro First Team selections and two All-Pro Second Team selections during his 10-year career.
