BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – The left tackle position in the NFL is considered the primo No. 1 spot upfront. Left tackles typically make the most money of any position along the offensive line, and are usually picked at the top of the draft. Over the last 10 years, 19 tackles have been drafted in the top 10. Over the same period, not one center has been drafted in the Top 10.
Former 11-year veteran quarterback Dan Orlovsky says the center position should be valued right up there on an equal level as the left tackle.
“They are such an undervalued position group,” Orlovsky told detroitlions.
