RT @ESPNNFL: "He's going to be a Hall of Famer. He's one of the best tackles to ever play the game." @mspears96 reflect Via @danorlovsky7 on X

What happened: Marcus Spears placed Lane Johnson among the best tackles to ever play Tuesday. The note tracked Johnson's 14-year career since going No. 4 overall in 2013 out of Oklahoma.

Why it matters: Johnson leads the NFL at 97.2% pass-block win rate this season. Sustained pass protection across 14 seasons forms the core of the Hall of Fame case.

What to watch: The coming weeks will determine whether Johnson holds his lead in pass-protection efficiency.
