Vanterpool's right-side switch changes pass-protection geometry for Dru Brown

With Jarell Broxton injured, Micah Vanterpool (6-5, 336) steps in at right tackle after starting six games at left guard/tackle last season. For right-handed Dru Brown, the right tackle protects his throwing shoulder — so Vanterpool must widen his set against B.C.'s edge rushers while also sealing for Brady Oliveira's runs. His position flip adds a new variable to a line that's already protecting a mobile QB; expect the Lions to test that side early with speed rushers.
