The Cleveland Browns dished out the cash this offseason to bring in a new tackle—for the right side of the offensive line—in Jack Conklin. Then they drafted a tackle in the first round for the left side—who played on the right side during his college career, Alabama’s Jedrick Wills.
But Wills, you see, was the blindside protector for Tua Tagovailoa, who was left-handed. Alabama played him on the right side of the offensive line for that purpose. And Cleveland isn’t worried about his being moved over to the left side to block for Baker Mayfield.
“He’s got these intangibles that show up in tangible ways on film”, said their new offensive line coach, Bill Callahan, who is well-respected in the league, via Dan Labbe.
