Orlando Brown is good. He's not some superstar OT.
He's in the OT8-12 range in the NFL. https://t.co/T4OhV76YGP
Goodberry is probably correct. He's not a superstar OT. I read where his block win rate for KC (92%) placed him 18th among all offensive tackles. But, still those who are saying he's the best left tackle since Whitworth are also correct. Four consecutive probowls, when none of our other OL even have one probowl. Major upgrade at a position of need. And he's been healthy and settles the OL for four years, versus the stopgaps the Bengals used in Riley Reiff and some others.
Apparently what sold him on the Bengals was a commitment for him to play left tackle, while other teams wanted him for the right.
