After two season-ending injuries at offensive tackle, it’s time to leave Alijah Vera-Tucker at guard.
Vera-Tucker is the consummate team player and will do whatever he can to help the team, but moving forward, it’s time to keep him at guard, even if there is a need at tackle due to an injury.
While he can play tackle, which he proved at USC and with the Jets, he’s a better guard than tackle.
He’s a good tackle, but can be an elite guard.
“AVT” is a people pleaser who will do what he’s asked to help the team, but it’s probably best to leave him inside moving forward. and let him continue his development into being one of the game’s best guards.
