When James Daniels was drafted, he played center. When Cody Whitehair was drafted, he played guard. Of course, Whitehair moved to center in the NFL and did have some success, although he did have issues with the snap.
Still, despite so many assuming that the Chicago Bears would push James Daniels in at center, and then move Cody Whitehair to guard, the team was reluctant to make the shift. Instead, they insisted James Daniels start at guard, and Whitehair, who struggled again with snaps during training camp stayed at center.
Although it was not a factor during the season, the Bears finally made the change that many were anticipating since day one.
