Elsbury's Iowa Pedigree Masks a Bargain-Bin Centre Gamble

Tyler Elsbury, a first-year starter at centre, was a backup at Iowa behind five eventual NFL linemen, including Logan Jones (Chicago) and Mason Richman (Seattle). His development path suggests the Bombers are paying a fraction of market value for a player whose college room produced elite NFL talent, but his lack of starting experience is a risk that shows in the O-line's inconsistency.
