Tristan Wirfs of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is playing through an MCL sprain, showcasing remarkable resilience. Coach Todd Bowles praised him, stating that even on one leg, he outperforms many players on two. Wirfs has been recognized as a First Team All-Pro candidate by the 33rd Team and has not allowed any sacks this season, boasting an impressive pass-blocking grade of 92.7 from Pro Football Focus.
Despite his excellence, Wirfs ranks fifth in overall tackle grades, trailing behind notable players such as Jordan Mailata and Terron Armstead. His performance solidifies his status as one of the best left tackles in the league, especially after signing a lucrative extension this offseason.
