It took Cole Chewins about 5-6 games into the 2018 season to really feel like himself again. By that time, though, Michigan State’s offense was already a disaster.
Coming back to full strength in the middle of a disappointing season isn’t ideal, but Chewins felt the need to prove himself as a leader and ended up playing the fourth-most offensive snaps. He didn’t fare as well as he hoped, though, going from clear starter in 2017 to rotational player.
Chewins was once a left tackle starter but is now being looked at as the right tackle for 2019, and that might be just what he needed to get back on track and earn some redemption after a lost season.
