2019 (TB) - 62.7 grade, 4 sacks allowed, 31 total pressures allowed
2020 (TB) - 69.0 grade, 0 sacks allowed, 27 total pressures allowed
2021 (TB) - 73.4 grade, 5 sacks allowed, 32 total pressures allowed
2022 (CIN) - 67.6 grade, 3 sacks allowed, 20 total pressures allowed
2023 (CIN) - 64.9 grade, 4 sacks allowed, 35 total pressures allowed

He's basically the same guy he was in TB still.
He'll allow ~4 sacks and ~30 total pressures, which is solid but not elite.

Karras is a similar trend between his time in NE and in CIN.

Both guys are solid and probably the least worrisome of the group.
I'll give OBJ a slight pass since it was his first year in CIN's offense last year, but he allowed so many pressures (59).
I think he'll get that number down by ~20 this year (or at least hope so).

I wouldn't get your hopes up on OBJr. He has always allowed a ton of pressures. In 2022, he allowed 58 pressures. This is who he is, we just wanted to believe he was actually an elite/pro-bowl level tackle when we signed him. 

I watched it happen when the Ravens traded him (Ravens fans telling Chiefs fans that he actually isn't very good) and I watched Chiefs fans tell us he wasn't very good. Both the Chiefs fans (at the time) and us last offseason claimed it was just fans "hating", but I think the fact of the matter is, those fan bases watched him each game and saw who he was as a player.
