It’s no secret that you need a good offensive line to win titles in the NFL. Ask Joe Burrow and the Bengals how their front-line situation worked out for them in Super Bowl 56.
Naturally, perhaps the most difficult offensive line position to play is offensive tackle. There are very few people in existence who can successfully pass-block 250-pound athletic freaks with lightning first steps while moving backward. It’s a position that comes at a premium, especially as teams throw the ball more and more, year after year.
One of the top tackles in this year’s draft is former Mississippi State brick wall, Charles Cross. Cross should figure to hear his name early on draft night in a loaded tackle class headlined by Evan Neal.
