That's great to learn.  However, if the front office doesn't change their philosophy of not valuing interior linemen, it could be a rough road ahead.  College football just isn't turning out as many NFL ready Tackles, as they used to.  You can thank the proliferation of the spread offense in CFB for that.  The real gold is in the interior linemen, you have to have a solid base for the inside running game, as well as a foundation to form a pocket from.
