Oregon left tackle Penei Sewell is considered one of the elite prospects heading into the 2021 NFL Draft. His name has floated around the Miami Dolphins, currently holding the sixth overall pick, as a potential target, though pass catchers seem to bump him from ever being anything more than a side-note as a possible pick. News from NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport on Friday, however, could force Miami into a second look at Sewell.
Left tackle is the money position on the offensive line. It is the position where a player is often left alone on an island and asked to protect the blindside of a quarterback. It is the place where a player like Jake Long can be the first-overall selection and sign a $57.75 million contract (pre-rookie wage scale). It is the spot that is the most critical of the five offensive linemen.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has brought a large number of big challenges to school districts, the government s relief efforts have not overlooked schools and that aid has increased significantly over the three waves of relief packages.
The first relief package sent out of Washington D.C. netted the Mountain Home School District between $600,000-$700,000, according to District Superintendent Dr. Jake Long. The second relief package sent $2.9 million while the third is expected to bring $6.7 million to the district.
Long said the district appreciates the help as district personnel had to do much work to make environments as safe as possible for students and employees alike. Without federal aid, Long said the district would have had more difficulties meeting the guidelines to open in-person learning.
