They played tackle right away. Slater was known as a tackle, for instance. Ford, plugged in as tackle right away.Came out as guards, right?
Or are you saying that they just made up those positions they played in college?
Slater and Ford played tackle n college. In fact, here's Slater's own pre-draft profile. A tackle: Rashawn Slater Draft and Combine Prospect Profile | NFL.com
Slater played tackle at Northwestern, started as a RT then moved over to the left side.
Because of his size, he's like Isaiah Wynn, some draft prognosticators thought he'd be a guard, I guess. But he played tackle, was listed as a tackle, plays tackle now.
