The Cincinnati Bengals have done some reshuffling on their offensive line as of late. It started in 2022 with the signings of right tackle La'el Collins, center Ted Karras, and right guard Alex Cappa.

Cincinnati continued bolstering their offensive line by signing four-time Pro Bowl left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. to a four-year deal for $64 million in March. This move caused another shift up front, and that was veteran Jonah Williams being switched from the starting left tackle to the right side. 

Williams requested a trade after Brown was brought on board, but he eventually came around to the idea. However, despite his willingness to change, one prominent media outlet isn't convinced it will work.

Williams started all 16 games the Bengals played in 2022. His play wasn't ideal, though.

Williams gave up 12 sacks and allowed 43 pressures per Pro Football Focus. Also, he logged career lows in his pass-blocking and run-blocking grades as well.

The 2023 season will be a challenge in more ways than one for Williams. Not only will he have to battle the aforementioned Collins for starting right tackle duties, but he's playing a position that he hasn't logged a snap at since his freshman year at Alabama which will make it even more difficult.

Even with this hill to climb, Williams isn't worried. 

"(The biggest adjustment) is re-learning everything for the other side of your body," said Williams earlier this month. "Opposite stance. Post leg is your kick leg and vice versa and all that. It's nothing that reps and practice won't get me used to. … The last time I played right tackle was freshman year in college. There's a lot of technique to kind of unlearn and switch to the other side. It's my job. I love it. I've got a great coach, great teammates, and I'm grinding my ass off. I'm going to crush it."

The competition at right tackle between Williams and Collins will be one to watch in training camp.
