Not because he’s passive — because he doesn’t have to be.

His punch timing is precise enough to neutralize the initial burst of a pass rusher before they can generate momentum, and his anchor is deep enough that pure power moves rarely move him off his spot. In 2025, he allowed just 15 total pressures across 802 snaps — a 1. 9% pressure rate that ranked among the best in the entire NFL.

Only two of those pressures became sacks. In 14 starts, he was essentially a wall. On speed rushes, he mirrors edge defenders with lateral quickness that shouldn’t exist in a 313-pound man.

On inside counter moves, his hand reset is quick enough to reestablish control before the rusher can turn the corner. Against Myles Garrett specifically, Tunsil has a documented track record of winning more battles than he loses, which is something very few left tackles in the NFL can say. This is the part that doesn’t show up in any grade.
