The best in the game at center

Standing in between Jackson and Incognito is Rodney Hudson, who is widely considered the best in the game at his position. Since coming over to the Raiders from rival Kansas City, Hudson has barely allowed Derek Carr to be touched, and he will anchor this elite offensive line once again in 2020.

Hudson is not only elite when it comes to run blocking, but he is also the best in football in pass protection, as he has not allowed Carr to be sacked in the last two seasons. Incredibly, this guy is not named a First Team All-Pro every season, but he is starting to get more recognition, and is actually putting together what could be a Hall of Fame career in the Silver and Black.

Overall, Carr can feel secure knowing that Hudson is once again getting him the ball this season, and manning the middle of an offensive line that should give him all day to throw in 2020. Hudson is only 31-years old, and was recently signed to a long deal, so he should finish out his career in Las Vegas.
