What happened: Cleveland right guard Austin Barber recorded the highest pass-blocking grade among rookie offensive linemen. Barber earned an 88.8 mark from Pro Football Focus.
Why it matters: The strong start stabilizes the interior of the line while Teven Jenkins deals with missed practice time. Barber also ranked third among all NFL offensive linemen in pass-blocking grade for Week 2.
By the numbers: Blake Miller ranked second in the rookie class with a 78.4 pass-blocking grade. Spencer Fano (70.5), Jake Slaughter (67.0) and Fernando Carmona (66.6) rounded out the top five.
What to watch: Barber will look to maintain his high level of pass protection as the regular season continues.
