Oh the irony

Looked up Ryan Kelly's week one PFF grade for pass blocking in a kind of celebratory good riddance to bad pass blocking at the center position. He graded 78.8, which is very good. Ranked 6th among centers in the NFL. 

You'll never guess who ranked number one.

Bradbury?

Bradbury?

Yep. Pretty weird. Even weirder is that he had a very low run blocking grade, which, historically, he graded well in. But here's the kicker. If you look at Bradbury's grades throughout his career, there are only a handful of games where he graded well in both run and pass blocking. It was either one or the other, likely due to the skillset of the defender he's matched up against. Not so, Kelly. His run and pass grades are remarkably consistent throughout his career.

Judd zulgad dropped an interesting factoid a couple months ago about the difference in play grades between Kelley and Bradbury....

Bradbury gave up 12? Pressure in 2024, Kelly has given up the same number of pressures, 12, since 2016.....

Man, I wish Kelly spent his last 9 years here

Do we have the heir replacement even on the roster yet?

No heir yet. I doubt it's the hand lotion guy.

Bradbury with a bad snap today that got by QB and got him sacked inside the 10
