Is Tristan Wirfs already a top-10 tackle in the NFL?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers landed one of the biggest steals in the 2020 NFL draft when they traded up in the first round to grab Iowa offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs with the No. 13 overall pick. Wirfs became the immediate starter at right tackle for the Bucs, and proceeded to have one of the best rookie campaigns in the entire NFL last season, playing a key role in protecting Tom Brady and helping the Bucs win the Super Bowl. Heading into his second year, Wirfs is already being lauded as one of the leagues best at his position, coming in at No. 6 on Doug Farrars list of the top offensive tackles in the NFL. Heres what Doug had to say about Wirfs over at Touchdown Wire:  Most rookie offensive linemen arent able to come right into the NFL and dominate more often than not, but Wirfs proved last season that hes not most rookie offensive linemen. The Iowa alum, selected by the Buccaneers with the 13th overall pick in the 2020 draft, had an amazing rookie season in which he allowed just one sack, eight quarterback hits, and 15 quarterback hurries on a league-leading 851 pass-blocking reps. Wirfs combination of play strength, agility to either side, and control around the arc made him a Pro Bowl-level right tackle immediately, from his first game through Tampa Bays win in Super Bowl LV, and without a typical camp and preseason (actually, without any preseason at all). Not had for a guy who had to protect a quarterback in Tom Brady who had more deep attempts (119), and the second-most seven-step drops (54, behind only Justin Herberts 62) last season. Even on a unit that is one of the NFLs best, Wirfs is already the best player on Tampa Bays entire offensive line. Throw in the fact that his rookie performance came without any real offseason or preseason action, and the chances of him taking his game to another level moving forward are pretty good. Thats a scary thought for any opposing defender who lines up across from him.
