Vera-Tucker appeared in 16 of a possible 17 games as a rookie, starting at left guard in every appearance. The 14th overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft is expected to slide over to right guard to accommodate free agent signing Laken Tomlinson, but Vera-Tucker remains penciled in as a starter for New York.

Should be ready for training camp
Vera-Tucker (triceps) expects to be ready for training camp this summer, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Vera-Tucker suffered a torn triceps in late October and was forced to miss the remainder of the season following the injury, but the offensive lineman said Monday that he'll be ready for training camp in late July. Vera-Tucker's status is worth monitoring moving forward, but considering he'll have had nine months off by the time training camp rolls around, he should be ready to go. The 23-year-old showed growth in his second season in the league and should be a fixture on the Jets' offensive line for many years to come.

The Jets traded up to select Vera-Tucker 14th overall with their second first-round selection of the 2021 draft. He's capable of sliding over to tackle if necessary, but the rookie lineman out of USC is projected to be a Day 1 starter at left guard for Gang Green.
