Cordy Glenn (Buffalo Bills)

Even bad offensive lines can function as long as they have at least one player who can anchor them in certain situations. That is who Cordy Glenn has been for the Buffalo Bills the past few years. The underrated left tackle proved it again in 2015, somehow helping Tyrod Taylor to reach the Pro Bowl but not getting an invitation himself. He also led the way for what way for the #1 rushing attack. There is only so much a guy can do before the criticism must shift to the voters for not recognizing his game.

He hasn’t missed any time in three-straight years. He’s 26-years old and reaching the peak of his prowess as a blocker. The offense seems to have an identity and the looming distraction of Tom Brady will be removed for the first month of the season. Such circumstances make it prime time for a young player to get his long overdue recognition. Glenn is one of the top tackles in football. If he finishes this year like the last one, they cannot and will not keep him out.
