"Bruss had played 17 percent of his snaps at guard at Wisconsin, but 83 percent of them at tackle,” McVay said this week. “He looks more comfortable out there. That’s probably where he’ll stay for now. He can always potentially bump inside.”

Bruss’ history at tackle means that he doesn’t have to hesitate as much in live action, or overthink things, especially coming off a major injury — even while he is still getting challenged to develop at the position at the NFL level. It’s not exactly a “comfort zone,” but it’s not inviting needless barriers into a player’s development.
“It’s the type of thing, a lot of people who don’t play O-line, they might see guard and tackle as these interchangeable positions, and in my mind, there’s a big difference,’ ” Bruss said. “Obviously there is no substitute for thousands and thousands of repetitions at it in college. … And I think a big part of O-line play is confidence, too.”
