Biggest nfl quarterback trash talker12/17/2023 ![]() This was interesting in that it varied quite a bit by individual. "At this point it's probably a little undeserved." - Chiefs tackle Mitchell Schwartz on Suh being dirty Lee Coleman/Icon Sportswire Offensive lineman they like to watch ![]() Daniels, Donald and Derek Wolfe also were mentioned. Another added that his reputation is probably a little overblown. One player said Suh was more a fierce competitor than a dirty player. Still, his name was uttered more than anyone else's when linemen fielded this question. So does Suh, some of it self-inflicted and some of it perhaps undeserved. He's always talking." - Jensen Photo by Cliff Welch/Icon Sportswire Dirtiest/nastiest defender What's interesting is that Saints left tackle Terron Armstead feels that most of the chatter comes from interior guys rather than on the edge. He has caught the ears of more than a few offensive linemen over the years. But perhaps the biggest trash-talker is Daniels. Former Seattle defensive end Frank Clark is pretty chatty. But Lane really doesn't give a s-." - Eagles guard Brandon Brooks on Johnson Photo by Larry Radloff/Icon Sportswire Biggest trash-talkerĬhicago's Akiem Hicks doesn't stop talking during games. I think today a lot of guys are concerned about what people might think about you, or view you. "If were a QB or receiver, he'd be in the headlines every week. Others who were given consideration for this title were Eagles center Jason Kelce, Bears guard Kyle Long and Titans tackle Taylor Lewan. If only he were a skill-position player, everybody would know him well. Johnson understands he's in the entertainment business and plays his role well. He's athletic (a former quarterback and tight end), talks trash and doesn't hold back. But if they were, players believe Johnson would be a star. They're not quarterbacks, wide receivers or even pass-rushers. Otherwise, they generally fly under the radar regardless of personality. Offensive linemen traditionally get noticed when they allow sacks. Heck, they're sometimes referred to as Big Uglies, which speaks for itself. It's easy to overlook an offensive lineman. It was one of the dirtiest moves I've seen of all time." - Leno on Mack's outside spin move EPA/Craig Lassig OL who would be a star if he played a sexier position "It was the nastiest move I've ever seen. The thing is, most edge rushers don't spin to the outside. Lane Johnson said it's something Mack sets up with a stunt that he runs earlier, which makes the tackle bite inside. described it as an outside, inside, chop-spin. ![]() Guys can only laugh when they mention or describe it at this point. It almost seemed like an urban legend that has taken on a life of its own.

But the Rams' defensive tackle dipped and shook off the usually reliable grips of that established player and was on the quarterback within seconds. One lineman talked about how he had two hands locked into Donald's shoulder pads on one play and thought it was over. Donald came out the slight winner, though. They're clearly head and shoulders above the competition. The votes were spread fairly evenly between Donald, Von Miller and Khalil Mack. Here are the results after polling 10 offensive linemen: Best pass-rusher With so many top players in one place for the OL Masterminds summit, we decided to ask around the room for answers to those questions and more. So can other topics, such as: Who is the most dominant pass-rusher in the NFL? Who has the best move? Which offensive lineman would be a superstar if he played a sexier position? All-Pros, Pro Bowl players and long-time starters, all right there to provide insight on what one player insisted was the "most skilled position" in football.
