The Green Bay Packers think rookie Sean Rhyan can play tackle at the NFL level, but the 92nd overall pick from UCLA is ready to play any position up front along the offensive line.
“I put on film, three years at tackle, I went up against some pretty good D-ends, I would say, and held my own. They think I can do this in the league,” Rhyan said in May. “I’m going to play where it best fits, wherever I slide in at. I’m ready to play both guard and tackle. We’ll see, when the season rolls around, where I’m playing at.”
Rhyan, the Packers’ third-round pick, started 31 games over three seasons at left tackle for UCLA. He faced several top-end edge rushers, including Oregon’s Kayvon Thibodeaux and USC’s Drake Jackson. Over roughly 1,200 pass-blocking snaps total, he allowed just two sacks, per Pro Football Focus.
