Hall of Famers praise Jets' Alijah Vera-Tucker for 'amazing' versatility

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Pro Football Hall of Famer Anthony Munoz got a chance to meet Alijah Vera-Tucker in the weeks leading up to the 2021 NFL draft. As part of the Hall of Fame's mentorship program, Munoz spent time with Vera-Tucker in Arizona, where the future New York Jets first-round pick was training. The former USC Trojans watched film together, talked X's and O's and did some field work.

Munoz knew Vera-Tucker would be a good offensive lineman in the NFL. But this good? Someone who has played three different positions this season at a high level?
