The Las Vegas Raiders selected Alabama offensive tackle Alex Leatherwood in the 2021 first round. It was looked at as a reach by most draft pundits who had Leatherwood going in later in the draft.
Leatherwood didn’t help the doubters with his performance on the field. Instead, he struggled at right tackle and was a liability in pass protection. The Raiders moved him inside where he did better in the run game, but fared the same when protecting the QB.
Now, the new regime sees him as a versatile player and expect him to grow at multiple positions.
