STM Take
Five straight Pro Bowls plus four straight top-19 STTM finishes (#14 in 2020, #15 in 2022, #19 in 2023, #15 in 2024, #8 in 2025) confirms one of the most consistent LT careers of the past decade. The 2025 jump to tier 1 (#8) with Washington shows the Daniels-offense environment may have actually improved his usage. At 32 the trajectory is sustained elite-tier LT play.
Tunsil came out of Ole Miss as Miami's 1st-round pick (13th overall) in 2016 after a pre-draft gas mask bong video tanked his stock from top-3 territory. Miami traded him to Houston in 2019 in a blockbuster deal that included two 1st-round picks. He made five consecutive Pro Bowls (2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) and posted four straight top-20 STTM finishes with the Texans (#14, #15, #19, #15). Washington traded for him in March 2025 in another blockbuster deal to anchor Jayden Daniels's blind side.
Strengths
- Five consecutive Pro Bowls (2019-2024) plus four straight top-20 STTM finishes establishes Hall-of-Very-Good baseline. Two blockbuster trade compensations (Miami → Houston, Houston → Washington) reflect his market value.
- Career sack rate is among the lowest of any active LT. Washington's 2025 trade investment is paying off immediately.
Concerns
- At 32 the structural decline curve is approaching; even the best LTs typically lose a step in their mid-30s.
- The blockbuster trade plus extension means a massive cap charge through 2026, which limits Washington's flexibility if performance falls off.
What to watch: Whether Tunsil's 2026 snap share stays above 95% and his sack rate stays under 2%, the thresholds that confirm sustained elite-tier production.
