Austin Corbett's back home at right guard, though he's used to moving

"I mean, the flexibility helps being able to play multiple positions, it definitely helps," Ekwonu said. "It makes you that much more valuable in the skills that he's been developing over the last couple of years."

Ekwonu also pointed out that Corbett was like the fun uncle of the offensive line room (Moton established himself as the dad years ago, since he's the one who tells them to pick up their laundry in the locker room).

But in seriousness, Corbett has also taken the young guys like Nick Samac under his wing (who was signed off Baltimore's practice squad after Corbett went on injured reserve), and even when he was on IR, he was a constant presence in the meeting room.

"He was definitely for sure in the room and everything," Ekwonu said. "We saw him every day, saw him in every meeting room, so even though he couldn't physically be out there on the field with us, mentally he was definitely still bought in for sure."

That's the kind of mentality a walk-on has to have, and a willingness to play anywhere doesn't hurt.
