If tackle is a position where long-established veterans figure to fill the roster, guard is...fairly similar. The biggest difference is that some of the players in this group are quite young, even if they’re settled in.
Matthew Bergeron heads into his third season as the unquestioned starter, while Kyle Hinton will be in his third year as a core reserve. Bergeron is just 25 and Hinton is just 27, but even grizzled veteran Chris Lindstrom (drafted in 2019) is just 28 years old. Elijah Wilkinson is the old man of the group at 30.
Behind them, there’s a couple of intriguing undrafted free agents and multi-position roster hopefuls jockeying for roles, but it’s fair to project that those four will likely hold down spots in 2025.
