Wisconsin's Elite Run-Blocking Tackle Turned NFL All-Pro Star
Ryan Ramczyk, a Wisconsin Badgers standout OT, dominated the 2016 college season as PFF's top run blocker among FBS tackles, earning consensus All-America honors with elite strengths in anchoring bull rushes, mirroring speed rushers, and athletic agility that made him a dependable pass protector[6][7]. His blue-collar intensity and Wisconsin toughness shone through, leading to a 32nd overall NFL pick in 2017, three All-Pro nods, and PFF's 11th-ranked tackle status[4][5]. Now 31 with a lingering knee injury from 2023 (est. return Feb 2026), his proven durability pre-injury and technician skills make him a high-floor fit for run-heavy teams seeking a veteran anchor[2].
