Van Roten also breaks down reps against Fletcher Cox, Quinnen Williams, Jalen Carter, Chris Jones, Dexter Lawrence and others.We also discuss what he learned from players like Josh Sitton, Andrew Norwell and Trai Turner, his path from Green Bay to the CFL and back to the NFL, learning from Jeff Saturday and Ryan Kalil, and how working under different offensive line coaches helped him build a much deeper technical tool bag over the course of his career.The conversation closes with Van Roten turning the questions back on me as we talk about offensive line evaluation, why assignment grading is so difficult from outside the building and why moving from tackle to guard is not automatically easier.
