The Pittsburgh Steelers selected LSU tackle Jerald Hawkins in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft on Saturday and offensive line coach Mike Munchak immediately talked about the pick with the media.
“I think he’s a left tackle to us, he played there as a junior coming out and we feel he has a lot of talent, has a lot of growth ahead of him, said Munchak. “He can play both sides, left tackle and right tackle, can come in here and help right away competing and pushing the guys makes it better.”
Munxchak said as far as sides go for Hawkins, he wants to start him off where he’s most comfortable and he believes that will ultimately be on the left side.
