Ezra Cleveland excited to play left guard for Vikings in 2021

Last season saw Ezra Cleveland get thrown into the mix on the offensive line due to a number of injuries and lack of depth. It was apparent the Minnesota Vikings wanted to take things slowly with their second-round draft pick in 2020 but were left with no other options but to plug him in at right guard last year.

Cleveland took his lumps during an up-and-down year on the offensive line, but the team will likely need to rely on him to assume a starting role during the 2021 season and it appears as though that position will be left guard.
