Mahomes has been sacked the second-fewest times of any qualified quarterback in the NFL this season due in large part to Thuney, who PFF currently ranks as the league’s top-rated pass-blocker among guards. This marks Thuney’s second-straight Pro Bowl nomination. (NFL)

Thuney’s PFF Grade of 75.2 is the 4th highest grade by a Guard in the AFC.

The former Wolfpack Lineman is 1 of 14 former NC State players to go to 2+ Pro Bowls.
