Lapham, who as a former offensive linemen I give a nod as an experienced NFL guy, said that Hopkins body (long arms) and his football IQ makes him a better center than a guard...he said that last year. Maybe Price will ultimately go on to have a long career as a guard. He is better at straight up mashing guys instead of what he has been asked to do as a center. He was a very highly rated guard after his junior year at OSU, but moved to Center to help his team.
Regardless, I will echo the sentiment of many that I am thrilled to see Willis get a shot and that ZT is making decisions that he believes best fits his scheme. I am also very excited for Michael Jordan. He was a MUCH better guard than center at OSU and right now looks like the steal of this draft...since Willis was undrafted.
