I still think he's a year out from contributing at any decent level but its a good sign that they like what they see and are giving him opportunities. Can't wait to see what he does in the pre-season.
While I certainly appreciate the optimism, I would think he would be staying at tackle given their lack of depth at that position if he was doing well. They used a 4th round pick on him, so clearly they feel like he can contribute long-term. You are absolutely correct, though, that he probably can't be relied upon to help this year, given his work needed to get to NFL level strength.
