Brandon Shell can be long-term answer at right tackle

The New York Jets took a huge step in their rebuild by tweaking their offensive line. They replaced Ryan Clady with Kelvin Beachum at left tackle, Nick Mangold with Wesley Johnson at center and retained right tackle Ben Ijalana on a two-year deal worth $10.25M. Ijalana may be penciled in as the starter right now, but sophomore Brandon Shell is breathing down his neck.

The South Carolina graduate has the tools to be New York’s guy moving forward. At 6’6,” 325lbs, he has more than enough frame to play tackle in the NFL.
