5. Larry Borom has played up and down the offensive line

While Borom spent his last year at right tackle, many in the NFL think he may project best to guard. The reality is that he is likely best served as a swing tackle. Nonetheless, you are looking at a player who has put in 1,394 snaps for the Missouri Tigers over three years.

Of those, 1,058 came at right tackle. That is 75% of the snaps. Still, he played 142 snaps at left tackle, per PFF. He played 132 at left guard, and 67 at right guard.
