One of the feel good stories from the 2021 NFL season was Tytus Howard’s emergence as a starting caliber left tackle. It was the best he had looked as a run blocker, and he continuously was able to control and limit pass rushers coming after Davis Mills’s blindside. After being drafted in 2019, forced to play right guard, right tackle, left guard, and finally, after three position changes and three years, Howard was able to play his natural position of left tackle.
The Texans didn’t want to start Howard at this position. After Marcus Cannon’s injury Charlie Heck was the one to move to right tackle.
