Replacement
Vinson held up well in pass protection against edge rushers, but frequent run-blocking lapses and a costly fourth-quarter alignment penalty kept his overall grade at a replacement level.
Vinson delivered solid pass protection across 22 dropback snaps (71 facet grade), consistently riding Donovan Ezeiruaku past pocket depth and anchoring firmly against speed off the edge. However, his run blocking was erratic over 45 snaps (63 facet grade), as he repeatedly struggled to secure inside leverage on zone reach blocks, notably failing to cut off a crashing linebacker on a 4th & 1 stop at Q4 13:07. His grade was severely dragged down late in the game by an illegal formation penalty at Q4 03:57 that erased a 12-yard Lamar Jackson scramble conversion. A quarterback hit conceded around the corner to Rashan Gary at Q4 01:47 capped off an uneven fourth quarter that limited his overall performance to 66.0.
