New England Patriots rookie offensive tackle Caedan Wallace spent four years playing right tackle at Penn State. Yet, as a rookie at the next level, he was drafted with the No. 68 overall pick in the third round with the expectations that he was athletic enough to switch to left tackle.
On the surface, it’s seems like a huge gamble for a Patriots team that lost its starting left tackle, Trent Brown, in free agency. Their next possible option is veteran Chuks Okorafor, who is also making the switch from right tackle.
It’s a game plan that could ultimately blow up in New England’s face.
