2024 recap
After moving from offensive tackle to offensive guard, Faalele was named a Pro Bowl alternate after surrendering one sack and 30 pressures in 504 pass-blocking opportunities last season.
2025 outlook
Off-season workouts with Ronnie Stanley should allow Faalele to take the next steps in his development as a full-time right guard. In 2024, Faalele logged the 11th most offensive snaps in the NFL with 1,107 and the most run-blocking snaps at 529, playing 99% of the snaps on the season.

Biggest question: Can Faalele develop into a perennial Pro Bowler?
After a much-needed position switch and difficulty playing in space, the former Minnesota Golden Gopher had the best season of his career, earning Pro Bowl Alternate honors by the end of the regular season. The next step for Faalele is to produce efficient results and better run blocking every week. Faalele showed drastic improvements from 2023 to 2024. Faalele earned an overall grade of 49 in 2023 from PFF as an offensive tackle. In 2024, the move to guard saw an improved grade of 60.5. He also graded out above average as a pass protector with a 63.2 grade on pass-blocking downs.
