Jedrick Wills: ‘I think I have made a lot of progress’ in move to left tackle

Jedrick Wills is the starting left tackle for the Cleveland Browns. Not that there was ever any doubt from the moment he was drafted in the first round, No. 10 overall, back in April’s draft, but Kevin Stefanski ended any question over the weekend.

How does Wills feel like he’s doing in making the transition from right tackle at SEC powerhouse Alabama to left tackle of the Cleveland Browns? The transition isn’t easy, but Wills feels like he’s doing well.

“I think I have made a lot of progress,” Wills said in his Zoom session with the media. “I’m moving along very quickly and just trying to get better.”

Even so, it’s still a challenge. Wills knows the step up in competition can be maddening. He’s got a realistic view of life in the NFL and that it won’t be a perfect ride.

“(I) come from a place in college where I just dominated everybody I went against,” Wills said Sunday. “It was easy and it was a walk in the park, and now you are going against these guys who are Pro Bowlers and some of the best pass rushers in the league. It gets frustrating at times, but you just have to learn from your losses.”
