He also believes his skillset is on that fits the offensive line unit. Lucas described his ability as a pass blocker and how he can get down in the run game are traits that are important for the tackle position, and he can bring those to the group.
He's also prepared to be a swing tackle if necessary. During his five seasons with Washington, Lucas played games both at left and right tackle and has the ability to switch between the two positions. He's prepared to play at either position whichever one he spends time practicing at for the week and can fill a need on the roster.
Lucas noted there are differences between playing on the left side than the right side. Because he is left-handed, the left side comes more naturally to Lucas than the right side. If he plays on the right side, he has to think more about his technique, focusing on his feet, balance and how he carries himself to have the proper leverage. On the left side, all those aspects of playing tackle come more naturally to him.
Whichever position he steps into, though, Lucas knows he can carve a role for himself among the offensive line.
"I'm just here to help us win any way possible," Lucas said. "If that's me being a swing tackle, if that's me being a starter at left or right, however it may go."
