protecting starting swing Tackles in the NFL when healthy. He just hasn't proved he can stay healthy which is why he is on a prove it deal.

Trent brown was the 11th highest rated tackle in 2023, when he played. You are spot on, outside of injury, Trent brown is locked in as our RT. 10 guys in the NFL played T better than Trent brown last year. IF mims had a full collegiate career worth of plays/experience, maybe…. But he would be on a HOF trajectory if he came in a a top 10 OL his rookie year. I hope he develops into that, but I don’t expect anything close to that in year 1. No one should.

T-11. TRENT BROWN: NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS: 80.2

Now set to hit free agency this offseason, the hulking tackle struggled to put together a full season once again in 2023. He played just 11 games — including two with fewer than 35 total snaps — but when healthy, he was at the top of his game.

The Patriots tackle posted career highs in offensive grade (80.2) and run-blocking grade (80.7) and gave up just 17 total pressures on 346 pass-blocking snaps, showing there is definitely something left in the tank.
