Chukwuma Okorafor thinks the value of left tackle and right tackle is the same. But his comfort level is a lot different, in a good way, back on the blindside.
After making every one of his starts in the NFL at right tackle, Okorafor shifted back over to the left side this offseason after Alejandro Villanueva’s long tenure with the team came to a close. Returning to team practice just the other day following an early-camp injury, Okorafor feels like he’s in a better place this season.
He spoke with reporters yesterday and was asked about now playing left tackle.
