This Season
With the departure of Anton Harrison and Wanya Morris, the two tackle spots will see new starters this season. After furthering his experience in 2022, Guyton is set to be a full-time starter in 2023 at right tackle, opposite Walter Rouse at left tackle. While the left tackle spot is usually seen as the more crucial of the two, Dillon Gabriel’s left-handed presence creates a larger emphasis on the right tackle. Guyton has been repeatedly singled out this offseason as having an excellent spring, with a lot of excitement around his athleticism and length and plenty of belief that his future NFL prospects are high. In his first season as a projected full-time starter, Guyton could have a special year ahead.
