Offensive linemen should get their own award category
Scream it from the mountain tops, Dion.
The Bills left tackle is absolutely correct. Offensive linemen need their own awards category at NFL Honors. Far too much of their work goes unnoticed. For most blockers, the only time they hear their name called during a TV broadcast is when something negative happens.
Not a single offensive lineman was nominated for any award in 2024.
We know the NFL MVP has essentially become a quarterback award — with Saquon Barkley stating his case to upset that trend in 2024. In response, the Offensive Player of the Year award has become the top non-QB weapon.
If they’re never recognized in those categories, blockers should get their own. College football gives awards to O-linemen. The NFL should, too.
Offensive linemen are often referred to as the unsung heroes of football, as they are crucial in protecting the quarterback and creating holes for the running back. Despite their importance to the game, offensive linemen rarely receive recognition or awards compared to other positions such as quarterbacks or wide receivers.
That’s why it’s time for offensive linemen to have their own award category. These players work tirelessly in the trenches, often sacrificing their bodies for the success of the team. They deserve to be recognized for their hard work and dedication.
An award for offensive linemen would not only acknowledge their contributions to the game, but also inspire and motivate other players to excel in this position. It would showcase the skill and athleticism required to play on the offensive line, and elevate the profile of these often overlooked players.
So let’s give offensive linemen the recognition they deserve by creating a dedicated award category for them. It’s time to shine a spotlight on these unsung heroes of the gridiron.
