Ranking the offensive lines in the AFC East entering 2022
team. 30. . . . New York Jets. 1
LT: George Fant, LG: Laken Tomlinson, C: Connor McGovern, RG: Alijah Vera-Tucker, RT: Mekhi Becton
The team with the best offensive line in these AFC East rankings is the New York Jets, who have made serious investments in this part of their roster through the NFL Draft and free agency.
The Jets have invested in the offensive line over the years with high draft picks by selecting Mekhi Becton 11th overall in 2020 and followed it up by selecting Alijah Vera-Tucher 14th overall in 2021. While Becton struggled last year, the potential is certainly still there and he showed enough as a rookie that there is enough reason to think he could bounce back this season.
The missed time by Becton last year opened the door for George Fant to step in as the starting left tackle. He played well enough that he should remain in that role and move Becton to right tackle.

In addition to those three, the Jets have Connor McGovern, who they signed as a free agent last offseason, and Laken Tomlinson, who signed this offseason. This is an excellent offensive line and they have a great chance to be a Top 10 offensive line in the NFL this season.
