Saints' Trevor Penning believes he will 'shine' after switch from tackle to guard

Our Summary

The New Orleans Saints are transitioning Trevor Penning, a former first-round pick known for his aggressive style, from tackle to guard. Penning believes the move aligns better with his strengths in the run game. Since entering the NFL, Penning struggled at tackle and faced injuries, leaving him uncomfortable in that role. The coaching change under Kellen Moore, who agrees with Penning's potential as a guard, offers him a chance to revitalize his career. With the Saints hoping to replicate success seen in similar transitions, Penning's performance at guard could significantly impact the team's offensive line and run game. This move comes as Penning enters the final year of his rookie contract after declining his fifth-year option.
