It does not project future success or lean on past accolades. It evaluates how players performed relative to expectations at their position, keeping an \u201call positions are created equal\u201d mindset.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bucswire.usatoday.com\/search\/?q=tristan+wirfs\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wirfs landed at No. 15<\/a> after another dominant season. Despite missing the first three games of 2025, he finished with an 84.9 pass-blocking grade, ranking fourth among all tackles. His 91.6 run-blocking grade ranked third at the position. Down the stretch, Wirfs was arguably the best pass blocker in football and continued to anchor Tampa Bay\u2019s offensive line. Not to mention, he caught a touchdown in 2025, which has nothing to do with blocking but must still be mentioned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bucswire.usatoday.com\/search\/?q=jamel+dean\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dean came in at No. 78<\/a> following the highest-graded season of his career. He posted an 80.6 overall grade, fifth among all cornerbacks, and allowed a 46.9 passer rating into his coverage, the best mark among corners with at least 400 snaps.<\/p>\n<p>Need a news break? <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (play)|e|auto spike click:5|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/play.usatoday.com\/?itm_source=SPIKE&amp;itm_campaign=PLAYSPIKE&amp;itm_medium=ONSITE\">Check out the all new PLAY hub with puzzles, games and more!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Feb. 25, 2026, 3:49 p.m. ET Pro Football Focus released its annual PFF 101, highlighting the top individual&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":777622,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2077],"tags":[95878,211,7,6,96509,96860,95882,102561,95895,95906,95902,95883,96239,103884,704,250,2597,2596,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-777621","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tampa-bay-buccaneers","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-buccaneers","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-sstssportsnflbuccaneers","13":"tag-sstsnbuccaneers","14":"tag-tagamerican-football","15":"tag-tagjamel-dean","16":"tag-tagnfl-hub","17":"tag-tagoverall-positive","18":"tag-tagsport-scores-statistics","19":"tag-tagsports-news","20":"tag-tagtampa-bay-buccaneers","21":"tag-tagtristan-wirfs","22":"tag-tampa-bay","23":"tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","24":"tag-tampabay","25":"tag-tampabaybuccaneers","26":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116137222640657159","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/777621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=777621"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/777621\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/777622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=777621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=777621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=777621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
