Guard/Tackle Laremy Tunsil

(On the transition from tackle to guard and the biggest challenge) – “Man, it’s all a process. Coming from playing tackle to moving to guard, it’s not that different at all. You’re going against bigger guys, your set is kind of different; but hey, I’m here to help the team in any kind of way, like I said before. I’m happy to be playing guard (or) tackle. It really doesn’t matter to me.”

(On if he has had any ‘Welcome to the NFL’ type moments) – “Yeah, the game is pretty fast, but playing in the SEC, I feel like it prepared me to play in the NFL.”

(On what he is looking to do in these practices) –“Everything. I’m just trying to get better (and) going against the best. Our defensive line is pretty good, as you’ve seen before, I’m pretty sure. Going against them guys is pretty good.”

(On if he can get a full evaluation not being in pads) – “Yeah, because we’re going full speed out there. We’re working on our hands, we’re working on our feet, they’re working their moves. You really can. But training camp is around the corner so we’ll be getting good work then.”

(On how he thinks he is doing getting to the second level) – “I’m not satisfied with my play. I feel like I can get better with anything – blocking, getting up to the second level, pad sets, hands, anything.”

(On if getting to the second level has been a point of emphasis) – “Always. Always.”

(On if anything has surprised him so far) – “Has anything surprised me? Just how fast the game is. It’s a process. You have to adjust to it. But like I said, the rest of the stuff has been pretty good.”

(On if he has shaved recently) – “Yeah, the beard’s coming back in a little bit. (laughter) I just wanted to try something new. I was trying to grow out my beard and it didn’t come out right so I’m trying to do something new. I appreciate you for noticing it, though.”

(On why he has been asking so many questions and what he is trying to get out of that) – “I feel like there’s always room for improvement and there’s always room to learn different stuff. I’m always trying to stay above on the playbook because that playbook is thick. There’s a lot of plays.”

(On if he has heard from the league about his status going forward after what happened on draft night) – “No. Nothing.”

(On if there is any potential that he could be pulling at guard) – “We’ve got some plays. Playing at guard, on a gap scheme, they’ve got me pulling for the Sam (linebacker). That’s anybody though. You might see me at receiver or quarterback.” (laughter)

(On the best piece of advice he has gotten from a teammate so far) – “Play full speed, even when you mess up. Play full speed.”

(On who gave him that advice) – “BA (Branden Albert), (Mike) Pouncey, all of them boys.”
