A two-time Pro Bowl selection, Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil is under consideration for Pro Bowl recognition again. texans sports kprc2 click2houston laremytunsil
Tunsil has allowed just one sack this season, and leads the NFL with a 91.3 pass blocking grade and has an 80.5 overall grade. He has yielded just two quarterback hits and 11 pressures, proving again that the former Miami Dolphins first-round draft pick is one of the most talented linemen in the NFL. A two-time Pro Bowl selection, Tunsil shut out some of the top pass rushers in the league, including Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons.
Frustrated by losing nearly every week on a 1-12-1 squad, Tunsil has set his ambitions on maintaining an exceptionally high blocking standard and building for the future.“I want that first-team All-Pro,” Tunsil said. “That would mean a lot to me. Hopefully, I get it.”“Watch the tape, man,” Tunsil said. “The eye in the sky don’t lie. I feel like I’ve done some good things.”
“We didn’t expect anything less from Laremy,” Texans offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton said. “He’s a hard worker. He’s smart. He’s tough, and he is, I would say, the leader of our football team.” That’s how valuable Tunsil is as one of the top blockers in the NFL. The Texans restructured Tunsil’s contract this offseason, moving forward with him as their top offensive lineman, converting his $17.85 million salary into a $16.815 million bonus with $1.035 million as his new salary. His 2023 salary of $18.5 million is unchanged after previously signing a three-year, $66 million contract after joining the Texans, a blockbuster deal he helped negotiate along with his advisors.
Tunsil has proven to the organization that he’s all-in. He made it a point before the trade deadline to communicate to friends and other key people that he had no desire to be traded. He wants to be in Houston on a long-term basis and hopes to negotiate with the Texans this offseason to add more years to his current deal, which carries a $35.21 million salary cap figure in 2023.
“Hopefully, we talk about that this offseason and they extend me a couple more years here,” Tunsil said. “I love Houston.”
