![]() Rotoworld also rated Schwartz the best free-agent guard. Here is an immediate reaction from PFF to the signing: At 28 years old, Schwartz looks to be the prize of this year’s free agent guard class. He had the sixth-lowest percentage of run snaps that took a downgrade among all guards. He has elite power at the point of attack, but he also rarely gets beat cleanly. While he had a superb year in pass protection with a pass blocking efficiency of 97.3 (ranked 11th), Schwartz’ calling card is his run blocking. The Oregon product has an overall grade of +24.1 in 792 snaps (full season is typically 1000+ snaps) since he missed the whole 2011 season with a hip injury. While there are no ’big name’ guards hitting free agency, Schwartz has played as well as any not named Evan Mathis on a per-snap basis the last two years. Schwartz scored a +18.9 from Pro Football Focus in 549 snaps last season, best of any free-agent guard, and PFF is effusive in its praise of the five-year veteran: Schwartz has a reputation as a road-grading run-blocker. Previously, he spent three seasons with the Carolina Panthers and one with the Minnesota Vikings. Schwartz, 6-foot-6, 340 pounds, is a five-year veteran who spent last season with the Kansas City Chiefs. ![]() Otw to the Big Apple tonight! Can't wait to officially sign w/the tomorrow! So pumped.
