Richie Incognito is easily the most consistent guards in the NFL and we shouldn’t expect anything other than that this season.

By now, we know what to expect when it comes to Richie Incognito. He’s been the most consistent starter on the Buffalo Bills’ offensive line for the past two seasons and has been a huge reason why LeSean McCoy has led the No. 1 rushing attack in the NFL over that span.

In 2015, Richie was graded as the second-highest guard in the NFL. He followed that up with another impressive season last year. At season’s end, PFF gave Incognito an 87.2 overall grade (5th in the league), 88.8 pass-blocking grade (7th in the league) and 84.0 run-blocking grade (7th in the league).

I would expect the same, if not better results in 2017.

Remember, the Buffalo Bills were without Cordy Glenn for a period last season, as well as Eric Wood for half the season. The two lineman next to Richie were constantly changing, but he made sure that left side was straight. Having them back and healthy will make this line even scarier than we remember.

Turning over a new leaf in Buffalo, it’s clear that this offensive line and offense as a whole wouldn’t be the same without Richie Incognito. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in the Pro Bowl again in 2017.
