Joel Bitonio Working At Left Tackle
6 years agoCleveland Browns offensive lineman Joel Bitonio worked as the left tackle with the first-team in practice on Wednesday. The team has spent a good part of the offseason trying to fill the huge vacancy created when All-Pro and future Hall of Famer Joe Thomas retired. Bitonio has been the Browns' starting left guard over the duration of his career and expressed reluctance about moving outside. "If they want me to do that, like, cool, whatever makes the Browns better. But I think left tackle is the toughest spot on the line, and after playing left guard for four years, going on five now, it would definitely be different." The team has tried third-year pro Shon Coleman and former No. 2 overall draft pick Greg Robinson at left tackle but neither has impressed. Look for rookie Austin Corbett to take over at Bitonio's old position if the position change sticks.
