Scherff has become one of the faces of the Washington Redskins franchise. His “road-grading,” blocking style has made Scherff a fan favorite in D.C. Drafted in the first round, fifth overall, of the 2015 draft, he has quickly helped solidify the right side of the offensive line.
During his first three seasons, Scherff only missed two games due to injuries. During his last two years, however, he has missed 13, including half of the season in 2018. Even at half his best, Scherff is still considered one of the top guards in the NFL. He recently signed his franchise tag but has expressed a desire to stay in the Nation’s Capital, representing the Redskins, for the long haul. Let’s take a look at just how well he graded among the league’s offensive guards last season, by Pro Football Focus.
