Even back in 2017, when Georgia product Tyler Catalina was signed by the Washington Redskins as an undrafted free agent, the Redskins were searching for depth on the interior offensive line. It’s been a problem for years on end now, and that was no different in 2017.
Catalina was pegged as a potential roster inclusion early on that year; with his 6-foot-6 frame, he profiled as a potential tackle-guard hybrid with good potential as a versatile depth lineman. Catalina made the roster because of this versatility, and it was assumed that he would continue to learn from Bill Callahan.
