I think it is pretty common for some to play on the right side early on. I mean you are getting a large pay day, why irritate your employer with demands. And again it is over the R and L side, not QB/WR (Lamar Jackson) or QB/TE (Tim Tebow).
Left tackles do get more money down the road. But that would only be after his rookie contract expires. Am I right, aren't rookie contracts basically draft position?
You are correct the draft contracts are pretty much slotted deals . As well, I have a hard time believing that a young man that has shown the character that Williams has shown is going to state such a thing to an NFL franchise.
