Recently, we discussed the possibility of the New York Jets moving Joe Tippmann from center to guard. It’s an appealing avenue for numerous reasons.
For one, moving Tippmann to guard would maximize his impact on the game since guards are viewed as more valuable than centers. This is mainly because guards handle significantly more one-on-one pass-blocking reps against elite defensive tackles than centers.
Additionally, Tippmann performed better in his rookie season at guard than he did at center, so it might be his best position.
The final reason would be to open up more potential options for the Jets to consider this offseason.
