The offensive line is the best unit in the NFL. Four of the five starting lineman are in the top ten at their respective positions. All-Pro Quenton Nelson is on a Hall of Fame track already despite only entering his third season. In 2019, he was PFF’s 2nd-best run blocker in the league and 7th-best pass blocker. Fellow Pro Bowler Ryan Kelly was the eighth-best at his position and is a staple piece at center.

Mark Glowinski is the least-skilled offensive lineman in the group; he’s the only one likely to not make a Pro Bowl in his career. He has been a quality lineman for the team, however, despite his struggles in the passing game.

Antony Castonzo resigned this past offseason for two years, securing his spot with the team until his retirement. The Pro Bowl-caliber player’s contract guarantees that all five starting offensive linemen from 2019 will return for 2020, meaning this will once again be the biggest strength for Indianapolis, which has to make Rivers happy.

The verdict: No change (but none needed)
