Few different ways I can see this playing out, but a big part of it is whether or not Jackson can play the left side. If he can the easy starting place is Wendell back at RG and Jackson at LG.
Wendell is no lock. And Josh Klein, Shaq Mason, Cameron Fleming and Caylin Hauptmann will all get long looks inside, perhaps into the start of the regular season like we saw last year. Klein seems under the radar, but has done a good job filling in over the last two seasons in spot duty. That’s a similar route that Connolly and Wendell took before they stepped into the starting lineup.
I’m very intrigued by Mason just because he’s so undersized but such a mauler. Excited to see him in preseason.
All we know for sure is that there will be plenty of different combinations inside, but I think of everyone Jackson is the most likely lock for a starting spot…assuming his knees hold up.
