The new Head Coach knew he had arguably the worst in the NFL. He wasted no time in signing three stopgap veterans. One has since retired, but two may start. He also used his first round draft pick on the best tackle available, Will Campbell. He then drafted the best center in the draft, who can also play guard, Jared Wilson. Both will start. Lastly, in the seventh round, he drafted tackle Marcus Bryant.

Campbell's stats were even more impressive, as the rookie left tackle didn't allow any sacks or pressures in the 17 snaps that he played, doing a remarkable job of finishing blocks and giving Drake Maye plenty of time to throw.

Brandon Scherff's arms were too short - 5/8ths of an inch short of the magical 34 inches that NFL teams want in an offensive tackle.

Tate Ratledge looked like a starting NFL guard yesterday. He started at right guard for the Lions in a joint practice with the Dolphins.

"Brandon Coleman limped off the practice field at training camp, raising concerns about his availability for upcoming practices and games as he transitions to left guard."

Tristan Wirfs will begin the 2025 season on the Physically Unable to Perform list, missing at least the first four games after knee surgery.

"The Nittany Lions addressed the wide receiver spot in the portal with Syracuse's Trebor Pena and others, but until they actually elevate their production, questions will linger."

Hamilton emphasized the significance of his long-term relationship with offensive line coach, who first offered him a scholarship, influencing his commitment to Virginia Tech.

Looking for answers on the offensive line, Zion Johnson and returning starting center Bradley Bozeman alternated days at center and left guard during offseason sessions.
