NAPA — Things are looking up in terms of keeping quarterback Derek Carr healthy in 2019, and not just because both of his offensive tackles stand at 6-foot-8.
Kolton Miller fought and clawed his way through his rookie season, mostly on one knee, and comes back in Year 2 heavier (pushing 330 pounds) and presumably smarter and more confident as the incumbent on the left side.
Trent Brown, the NFL’s largest player at 380 pounds, reached the pinnacle with the New England Patriots last season as a Super Bowl champion left tackle, and parlayed an excellent season into the largest contract ever given to an offensive lineman — four years, $66 million, $36.
