Baltimore Ravens left tackle and former Irish alumni Ronnie Stanley was named to PFF’s All-Pro first team list for the left tackle position. Grading out with an 87.2 rating, Stanley was the highest performing left tackle in the NFL.

PFF also graded Stanley as the best pass-blocking tackle in the league, giving him a pass-blocking efficiency grade of 99.3. On the season, Stanley did not allow a single sack, while only allowing a total of six quarterback pressures in 938 snaps, while committing only five penalties on the season. His efficiency was a big reason for the success of MVP candidate Lamar Jackson this season.

Stanley was the sixth overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft by the Baltimore Ravens. The 6’6″ and 315-pound former Irish All-American was named to his first Pro Bowl this season, as well as a first-team All-Pro by the Associated Press, Pro Football Writers of America and Sporting News.
