Why do so many of you guys keep saying RT is Guyton’s natural spot?
It is not! He played RT 1 season at Oklahoma because Walter Rouse had started at LT for Stanford the previous 4 seasons before transferring to Oklahoma. The young kid in his only year starting at Oklahoma played RT because who would ask the veteran LT to try a new position.
Guyton started full time at Oklahoma in 2023, but in 2022, he played both left and right tackle as a swing guy.
Experience aside, players with Guyton’s size and agility are “natural” left tackles. His adjustment to the NFL had much more to do with starting experience, learning to be a pro, and changing his body while adapting to the NFL after starting only one season in college. It had very little to do with his position.
Even considering moving him to RT now after all the time he has spent at LT is ridiculous.
