Browns' Elgton Jenkins ranked 18th among NFL centers by PFF

Summary

Cleveland Browns center Elgton Jenkins received recognition in Pro Football Focus' center rankings for the upcoming 2026-27 NFL season, coming in at the 18th position. Jenkins, a notable free agent signing after seven seasons with the Green Bay Packers, had a challenging previous season, hampered by a lower leg fracture. Despite this setback, he has consistently demonstrated strong pass-blocking abilities, achieving a PFF pass-blocking grade above 72.0 in six of his seven seasons. Head coach Todd Monken is expected to name Jenkins the starting center as the Browns aim to improve their offensive line heading into the new season.
