Plus PFF rankings are not very accurate. We see that a lot with other positions where there are other stats to show the flaws in PFF ratings. But since O-linemen don't have other stats some people treat PFF like the gospel truth.
Its this.
Ted Karras first year with high percentage of snaps was 2019 at Center for the Patriots. He then went to Miami and played Center and you could see the difference between year 1 and 2. This past year he came back to the Patriots and you could see how well he has developed in year 3 especially as a pass blocker. He has developed in a very technically sound player while he isnt going to blow guys off the ball as a run blocker he doesnt allow negative plays.
His improvement hasn't been about changing positions it's been about improving through snaps and experience.
