As NFL training camp approaches for most NFL teams (the Los Angeles Chargers reported on Saturday), sites continue to publish lists, rankings and predictions.
ESPN has been revealing player rankings at different positions, but with a twist. They are based on the votes of coaches, scouts and executives.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler revealed the rankings for the interior offensive linemen — the top 10 and five honorable mentions. Unsurprisingly, the Arizona Cardinals did not have any of their linemen in the group.
After all, while left guard Evan Brown and center Hjalte Froholdt have been solid in their roles in the starting lineup, no one really considers them among the best at their positions, while right guard Isaiah Adams, projected to be a starter in 2025, has five NFL starts under his belt as he enters his second season.
However, the Cardinasl will face some of these top interior linemen.
NFL interior linemen rankings: Which ones will the Cardinals face in 2025?
The Cardinals will face four of the top 10 and another three of the five honorable mentions.
- No. 2 Tyler Smith, Dallas Cowboys (Week 9)
- No. 3 Quenton Nelson, Indianapolis Colts (Week 6)
- No. 7 Chris Lindstrom, Atlanta Falcons (Week 16)
- No. 9 Elgton Jenkins, Green Bay Packers (Week 7)
- Honorable mention Robert Hunt, Carolina Panthers (Week 2)
- Honorable mention Erik McCoy, New Orleans Saints (Week 1)
- Honorable mentions Peter Skoronski, Tennessee Titans (Week 5)
The Cardinals have an upgraded defensive interior this season, so it will be fun to see who has the advantage in these games.
