It happens.If you can find me another rookie who was asked to learn two different positions in their rookie season I am all ears.
It happens.
"Versatility has been a blessing and a curse for rookie offensive lineman Xavier Su’a-Filo, the Texans’ second-round pick and the NFL’s draft’s 33rd overall selection. A blessing because he’s playing guard and tackle while learning center. A curse because the coaches haven’t allowed him to concentrate on only one position."

Not trying to fuel this debate. To answer the question though Jake Matthews was penciled in at starting RT until injury required he move to LT where he will start on Sunday. Curiously how many different titles has this thread had?If you can find me another rookie who was asked to learn two different positions in their rookie season I am all ears.
He'll be in the lineup soon enough, as the chef. Just making pancakes.
The post I replied to said nothing about starting so I did not infer that, however sometimes my mind-reading does not work.I think the point was... show other rookies that learned other positions and are starting.
Su'a-Filo is not starting.

I think what people don't understand is that he's already a decent pass blocker at this point. His problem comes with the line communications and blitz pickups, which is why the coaching staff would rather go with the veterans right now....rated 15th best pass blocker at LG this pre-season, among LG's with at least 100 snaps. Not concerned.
...sorry, per PFF, for what that's worth.
THIS.
Again not trying to fuel the debate just pointing out a player that fills PHX criteria.#1.Jake Matthews was penciled in at starting RT
until injury required he move to
#2. LT where he will start on Sunday
