Josh LeRibeus pick 3.8

Highlights show a bit o nasty from Josh too, which is awesome IMO. We haven't had an olineman w/ a nasty side since Randy Thomas...much overdue.

Kory L. has a bit of a nasty streak to him.

Yeah? Well the more the merrier!! :)

A nasty Center and a QB with some swagger.

I've fairly given up on Trent Williams being a leader on offense, let along the oline, for the time-being. I wonder if LeRibeus can grow into that role within a season?!

i dont think leribeus is going to play center for us, unless we shuffle the line due to injuries. i think its more likely theyre just giving him some looks at center to see how he does and give him some experience there. i see him competing for a starting guard position.

Given that o-linemen tend to play well into their mid to late 30s, I would say that it is difficult for a 3rd year tackle to be consider the leader of the o-line, let alone the offense. When I think of o-linemen who were leaders of their units (and the team) I think of guys who have been around for a while like Jeff Saturday or former players like Jonathan Ogden.

Third-round pick Josh LeRibeus spent almost all of his time working at center, after having played guard at SMU. His college coach, June Jones, said that’s the position he ultimately thinks LeRibeus will play because of his smarts. “He picked it up in one day like he’s been doing it his whole career,” Shanahan said.

Maybe we'll have several leaders on offense...so Trent can be a joint leader. :Smoker:
