C Chase Roullier

As we enter the top three linemen on the team, we coincidentally enter the strongest part of the line: the right side.

As I said in my previous ranking of the offensive line, Chase Roullier is just really solid. He makes few mistakes.

His above-average athleticism benefits him well in the run game. He gets to the second level and creates lanes for the running backs. In pass protection, he rarely lets his man beat him.

With Chase Roullier, you know what to expect. Steady, solid play.

He won’t ever be an elite, top-of-the-line center, however, he is definitely in the top half. He is, in fact, trending towards being a top 10 center in the game. He is due for a contract extension this offseason. The team should definitely offer him a long-term contract to stay. He should be a big part of this team’s future on the offensive line.

Grade: B- (82)
