One player I really enjoy watching on this Chicago Bears team is Teven Jenkins, who’s in his third year as a guard. He’s been playing exceptionally well, and his stats confirm it. Now, let’s check out some advanced statistics from PFF to get a deeper look.
Teven Jenkins is a top-10 guard in the NFL
Teven Jenkins, after recovering from an injury early in the season, has played a total of 174 snaps. Among these, 103 snaps were at left guard, and 71 snaps were at right guard. He’s allowed zero sacks and just two pressures. He’s also kept it rather clean with just one penalty commited. Currently, he ranks as the 7th best pass-blocking guard in the NFL according to Pro Football Focus.
His overall grade for the season is 75.4, and he boasts an impressive 98.8 pass-blocking efficiency, which measures how well he prevents pressure on a per-snap basis, with a strong emphasis on avoiding sacks. In simple terms, Teven Jenkins excels in this area and is considered elite.
Ryan Pace left a pretty good parting gift
We’re aware that Ryan Pace, during his time with the Bears, made some mistakes, but Teven Jenkins is a player he really got right in terms of talent and performance. The key factor for Jenkins is staying injury-free. If he can manage to do that and maintain his health, there’s no doubt he’ll be in the running for all-pro seasons. That’s just how much potential he has.
