Browns legend Joe Thomas thinks switching sides at tackle isn't hard
TL;DR
Joe Thomas believes switching from right tackle to left tackle isn't as challenging as many think. The Cleveland Browns are considering this strategy as they address their need for a left tackle in the upcoming NFL draft.
The 2026 NFL draft offensive tackle class is an interesting one, with a majority of the top prospects either being right tackles or guys that may have to move inside to play guard. Right now, the Browns have a glaring need at left tackle after building up the rest of the line in free agency.
One question among analysts and fans is whether the team should take a right tackle and move him to the other side. The last time the team tried that, it didn't work out with Jedrick Wills Jr., but that's more about the individual player than the position change.
It's a difficult task to switch sides, but former Cleveland Browns Hall of Famer Joe Thomas doesn't think the change is as hard as some people think.
"I don't think moving sides is really a big deal, so I wouldn't really worry too much which position necessarily about the player played in college."
