Question for those that have played/coached football: When you bring in a left-handed QB, does that change how you recruit left tackles vs right tackles with there being a different 'blind side?' Or are the skills essentially the same?
Typically no, at least not at the NFL level. There could be a few more factors in the NFL that make it unique, but I would think they would just leave the OL the way it is. They might put more of a premium on pass blocking if the QB is left-handed, but I've never really heard of them switching. I know LT and RT hate to switch sides, like there is an adjustment period (that isn't saying it can't be done).
Thanks, man!
When is the last time the Gophers have had a lefty? Ever?
Looks like Mitch Leidner. I always thought Mitch was left handed, he had that long awkward delivery like many lefties have.
I can't remember one. . . lol

Wonder how this impacts Trey Lance's chances at an offer?
