Redskins: Three offensive linemen to watch at the 2020 NFL Combine
By Ian Cummings
The offensive linemen at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine do field drills today, and given the recent update with the Trent Williams situation, the Redskins have to do their due diligence.
Of course, offensive line is always a position worth strengthening, as it might be the most important cohesive position group on the field. The offensive line quite literally preserves the very functioning of the offense, and without security on that front, teams have a hard time gaining momentum.
The Washington Redskins offensive line surprisingly wasn’t horrible in 2019; Donald Penn filled in admirably at left tackle, and Ereck Flowers showed major growth at left guard. But with both guard spots and the left tackle spot still up for grabs, it’s important that the Redskins know who their options are in the 2020 NFL Draft, if they don’t re-sign in-house candidates.
With that said, let’s take a look at three offensive linemen who you should watch later today, when the offensive linemen take to the field at the NFL Scouting Combine. These linemen are players who should be available in the middle rounds, where the Redskins are most likely to invest in their front five.
