Commanders' Tunsil and Conerly overlooked among top NFL tackle duos

Summary

The Washington Commanders' offensive tackles, Laremy Tunsil and Josh Conerly Jr., are not included in some analysts' top rankings for NFL tackle duos in 2026. Tunsil, recently extended as the highest-paid offensive lineman, is considered a top player. Conerly, despite a challenging rookie season, showed improvement towards the end of the last season. His offseason training has prepared him for a stronger showing this year. Analysts have questioned the ranking of the Commanders' offensive line, placing them in the 20s, which contrasts with their potential output if the duo remains healthy throughout the season.
