Ezra Cleveland appears to be switching positions again

When the Minnesota Vikings used a second-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Ezra Cleveland, it was widely assumed that he would be slotted in as the team’s left tackle of the future when they eventually moved on from Riley Reiff. However, due to injury issues and other factors, Cleveland spent the second half of last season playing right guard for the purple. Now, it appears that he’s going to be switching things up again.

Lindsey Young of the Vikings’ official website is reporting that Cleveland has spent the opening portion of Organized Team Activities playing at left guard, next to first-round pick Christian Darrisaw.
