Did wills play RT because of Tua?

Did he play rt because tua is left handed or is he purely a RT?
Would have been a LT otherwise?

Yes I believe it was due to Tua being a lefty

and not because he can�t play LT

Wills has the athletic tools

to play both tackle positions. If I were to choose any of the top four tackles available, I would prefer Wills; however, the higher ceilings go to Becton and Thomas.

what about Jonah Williams

didn't get get moved to left tackle? was it because of wills or because he wasn't good enough to protect Tua's blindside?

Interesting thought. Worth further consideration.

Yes

he protected Tua's blind side. If they had a right-handed QB, he would have been on the left side in all likelihood. Not sure if they moved him when Tua was out, but by that time Saban would have probably wanted the continuity (and had Leatherwood anyway).

Interesting

In NFL Combine grades J. Wills has the highest grade on there for OTs and it�s not exactly close.
