Ever since the days of Lawrence Taylor, left tackles have been vital pieces of an NFL offense. Tasked with keeping the quarterback upright and effective, the modern NFL left tackle has to be incredibly athletic to keep up with the modern pass rushers but also powerful as they are still required to move bodies in the running game. It’s the same in Madden 21.
 
When it comes to left tackles, speed, strength and agility are all important, but the technical stats like pass block and run block are vital too. Awareness is important so they can spot blitzes and stunts. So who are the best left tackles in Madden 21 franchise mode?
 
David Bakhtiari - 96 OVR, Green Bay Packers
 
David Bakhtiari has been the best-left tackle in Madden, and arguably the NFL, for a while now and he does the #1 spot this year. Bakhtiari has been either First- or Second-Team All-Pro the last four years and brings 91 strength, a position-best 98 pass block finesse, and 93 pass block power to the left tackle spot. He's got 91 impact block and 98 awareness too.
 
Terron Armstead - 95 OVR, New Orleans Saints
 
Coming in at #2 is the ultra-athletic Terron Armstead. He was a third-round pick for the New Orleans Saints in 2013 and quickly developed into a proficient and then excellent left tackle. The Saints LT has 89 strength, 86 acceleration, and 80 speed to hustle around the field and pick up even the fastest edge rushers. He also has 96 pass block finesse, 95 pass block power, and 94 awareness. Armstead is also a better run blocker with 90 run block finesse. If you are feeling tricky, you can use him at TE, thanks to his 65 catching too.
 
Ronnie Stanley - 93 OVR, Baltimore Ravens
 
There is a little gap to #3, but Baltimore's Ronnie Stanley is still a terrific player. His 91 strength goes well with his 95 pass block finesse, 92 pass block power, 94 run block finesse, and 89 run block power to make him a very well-rounded tackle.
 
Trent Williams - 92 OVR, San Francisco 49ers
 
Williams has seen a lot of quarterbacks play behind him and he has looked after them all. Trent Williams has moved from Washington over to San Francisco and is still rated highly. He is 90+ in every blocking stat - 94 impact block, 94 pass block power, 93 run block power, 91 pass block finesse, 91 lead block, and 90 run block power. Williams also brings a massive 95 strength to the position.
 
Tyron Smith - 91 OVR, Dallas Cowboys
 
The last one on our list is Tyron Smith. He is one of the better known offensive linemen in the NFL after going 9th overall in 2011. Smith was an instant hit, with his enormous hands and incredible wingspan capable of engulfing pass rushers. He's been to 6 Pro Bowls in his career and has been a First-Team All-Pro choice twice. Injuries in recent seasons have slowed him, but he is still a monster pass protector for Dallas. The Cowboys star has 92 run block finesse, 91 pass block power, 89 pass block finesse, and 89 run block power. He's also immensely strong with 96 strength.
