Packers third-round OT Sean Rhyan said he is willing to play guard as a rookie.
The Packers’ official website believes Rhyan will be a candidate to start at right tackle or either guard spot depending on how things shake out with Elgton Jenkins’ ACL rehab. A three-year starter at UCLA, Rhyan (6’5/320) showed improvement each year, allowing only 24 pressures over his final two seasons. Although inconsistent, Rhyan is a capable athlete who understands how to use his size and length to his advantage. Where he struggles is with keeping his base consistent. He also has a difficult time recovering. That is why he finds himself between guard and tackle. As the Packers have already said, though, that versatility along with three years of starting left tackle experience are valuable assets, especially as a day-two pick.
