The Las Vegas Raiders' offensive line has been getting lots of recognition recently, as they should be. 

One offensive lineman has been getting the most recognition out of the group, leaving tackle Kolton Miller.

In a recent ESPN article, ESPN NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler listed the top 10 best offensive tackles for the 2023-24 NFL season.

In the past, Miller has not gotten recognition, but that changed after he had a phenomenal 2022-23 NFL season. According to Pro Football Focus, Miller is known for his pass blocking, allowing only four sacks last season. 

Despite being a great pass-blocking left tackle, Miller was the main force of the group in the run-blocking game as well. He led the group with a run block win rate of 81.7 percent which helped Josh Jacobs be crowned the league rushing leader with 1,163 rushing yards.

According to Fowler, an NFL executive calls Raiders left tackle Kolton Miller, an "easy mover." The NFL executive also shared his thoughts with ESPN NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler.

"Better athlete than he is an enforcer," the executive said. "Great feet and movement but doesn't play with enough power, strength, or anchor. Gets swallowed by bull rushes and knocked back."

Miller isn't the only AFC West top 10-ranked offensive tackle entering the 2023-24 NFL season. Los Angeles Chargers offensive lineman Rashawn Slater is listed at the No. 8 spot entering the 2023-24 NFL season, despite missing a lot of time during his rookie season because of torn biceps.

Last season, Miller was ranked as an honorable mention top 10 offensive tackle. The 27-year-old entering his fifth season has been listed at best as the seventh-best offensive tackle, and at worst, he has been non-ranked.

This season will be a season to watch for Miller. The veteran might take the next step to being one of the best offensive tackles in the National Football League.

Here are ESPN's top 10 best offensive tackles entering the 2023-24 NFL Season.

The Las Vegas Raiders open training camp for the entire team on July 25, 2023.

The Silver and Black open the preseason by hosting the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Aug. 13, at 4 p.m. EDT/1 p.m. PDT.
