Joel Bitonio earns a spot on Touchdown Wire’s list of top NFL guards

Longtime Cleveland Browns left guard Joel Bitonio continues to earn accolades for his consistently strong play. Bitonio has played in the last two Pro Bowls and has been selected as a 2nd-team All-Pro in both 2018 and 2019. Now he’s solidly ranked in Touchdown Wire’s list of the top 11 guards in the NFL.

Bitonio checks in at No. 6 on analyst Doug Farrar’s list. The commentary reflects what Browns fans have come to know and love about Bitonio: his snap-to-snap consistency and steady improvement as a run blocker.

Few offensive linemen at any position can boast Bitonio’s combination of flexibility and effective power. He’s a perfect fit for the schemes new head coach and offensive shot-caller Kevin Stefanski prefers to run — Bitonio is built for a flexible zone run game and a boot-heavy passing attack.

Former Browns right guard Kevin Zeitler, now with the Giants, kicks off the list at No. 11.
