Josh Conerly Jr. to Play Right Tackle for Now
The belief is that Washington Commanders rookie first-round offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. could move to left tackle in the long term. However, he'll play right tackle for now, according to ESPN's John Keim. The Commanders have yet to hand him the job, but they are very excited about the 21-year-old after they took him 29th overall back in April's NFL draft. Conerly mostly worked with the second-team offense in spring workouts, but the Commanders are confident after showing good footwork and an ability to play in space. "He's going to be a dog," offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil said. "Just the way he moves, the way he bends, athletic, smart, very intelligent. He has all the tools to be a damn good player in this league." He makes up for his short arms with plenty of athleticism, but the Oregon product will be competing with Brandon Coleman at right tackle this summer.
