Duane Brown of the Houston Texans has been the best left tackle in the NFL during the 2012 season.

Brown was the 26th overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.

Brown has surrendered just one sack over the past 29 games.

Brown has been so dominant in 2012 that Pro Football Focus ranks him as sixth in their Offensive Player of the Year Rankings.

Brown's excellence comes from his ability to limit the effectiveness of pass-rushers while also using his strength for the run game.
