STM Take

From tier 1 (#2) plus 1st-team All-Pro in 2019 to tier 6-8 finishes through 2023 and now tier 4 (#27) in 2025 captures one of the most violent injury-driven decline arcs at the position. The November 2020 ankle injury is the line of demarcation. At 32 with the ankle now five years in the rearview, the 2025 tier 4 finish is the realistic baseline for the remaining career.

Stanley came out of Notre Dame as Baltimore's 1st-round pick (6th overall) in 2016. His 2019 season was generational: tier 1 (#2) STTM finish plus 1st-team All-Pro and Pro Bowl selections, with statistical metrics that put him in the conversation for the best LT season of the decade. A severe ankle injury in November 2020 (he had to be carted off the field) plus multiple surgeries cost him most of 2020-2021 and disrupted 2022-2023. The 2024-2025 finishes (#48, #27) show a partial recovery to mid-tier production.

Strengths

2019 1st-team All-Pro plus tier 1 (#2) STTM finish establishes a real Hall-of-Very-Good ceiling reference. Pro Bowl in 2019 plus the Notre Dame 6th overall pedigree.
Year-over-year STTM improvement from 2023 (#71) to 2024 (#48) to 2025 (#27) is the rare three-year upward arc late in a career.

Concerns

November 2020 ankle injury essentially ended the Hall-of-Fame trajectory. Five years of recovery has not returned him to the 2019 peak form.
At 32 with the documented ankle history, the structural decline is approaching. The 2025 tier 4 (#27) is likely the ceiling rather than a step toward tier 2.

What to watch: Whether Stanley sustains his 2025 tier 4 (#27) baseline in 2026 or whether the age-related decline pushes him back toward tier 6.
