Belton was one of the better pure pass protecting Tackles in college. Ironically and surprisingly it was his Run block that was substandard. If you only watch highlights you’d guess opposite because he’d positively pancake opponents. Yet if his initial punch didn’t work he’d struggle to catch up with sluggish footwork. As far as guys adapting to the NFL you always stress Pass blocking over Run because the league really flows in that direction. That said, GB specifically had flipped more recently to a higher volume Running game. I think it was 2024 where we literally ran more than we’ve seen since Ahman Green suited up.Some of the running was due to newer Receivers and TE’s and protecting a young QB or one that had injured his knee pretty good. Plus we had just bright in Josh who’s a complete Hammer. We are starting to see glimmers of moving back to a more pass centric Offense. Now with Guys in their 4th seasons across our O we should see that open a little more.Belton also really played LT in college.  His projection was RT but experience didn’t aid him flipping to RG in his Rookie season. I think now that he’s had 2 offseason programs and comes back in at RG we’ll see at minimum a more concrete player (think of Sean that first season he had huge ? ?). Belton was actually more a later RD3 grade similar to Sean, but several scouts said his Pass grades put him ahead of many prospects that “graded” better. Some refining on footwork and counter moves and another year of experience should put any argument to rest about questioning his skill. Even I think it was Draft Buzz? That had him clear in RD4 but then said “he’d be a starter early in”.A more experienced overall OL off 2025 should allow players like Watson or Kraft or even Golden to thrive a little better. Our only real loss was Rasheed and he got what? $4Mil base + incentives. He’s not exactly a Blindside Charmer!</blockquote>
