Marpet's Latest Move is a "New Challenge"

When it comes to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offensive line, and the possible lineup combinations that can fill up the first column on the depth chart, Head Coach Dirk Koetter has always said the same thing: We want to get the best five players on the field.

Since his arrival as a second-round draft pick in 2015, that has always included Ali Marpet…just not always in the same place. An offensive tackle at Division III Hobart, Marpet played his first two NFL seasons at right guard before sliding over to center in 2017. However, that latter job now goes to Ryan Jensen, one of the team's most significant additions in free agency, and that is putting Marpet on the move again.
