Miami Dolphins veteran left tackle Branden Albert is taking rookie Laremy Tunsil under his wing…[/h] Miami Dolphins left tackle Branden Albert knows the value of mentorship in the NFL. In such a cutthroat business where players are constantly vying for the opportunity to take someone else’s job, Albert seems to have embraced his role as the guy who will eventually be replaced by first round pick Laremy Tunsil.
Albert, 31, is no Spring chicken, but he’s also not an afterthought. He’s still a major part of the Dolphins’ offensive line, but when the team had an opportunity to get a top five talent like Tunsil, he knew eventually, the left tackle job would belong to the former Ole Miss star.
Instead of marking his territory and turning the other way at Tunsil, Albert has embraced him and taken him under his wing. According to The Miami Herald, it’s something Albert takes great pride in.
“He is the future left tackle of this team,” Albert said. “When my time is done, he’s going to step in [and] I’m going to make sure [he’s prepared]. That’s how you leave your legacy.
“You teach a young guy and sit at home retired and see that young guy flourish [and know] I helped him on his way and have the potential to make a lot of money and change the future of his family generation after generation… They learn something from me and can say, ‘Branden Albert was a great mentor.’”
That’s great news for Tunsil, who is going to have to start his NFL career in an unfamiliar position and with high expectations. Not only high expectations for his on-field abilities, but also for his off-field character.

Thats very professionnal of Albert, honestly didnt think he'd see it that way.
 
That is awesome to hear. Very professional and realistic.
 
That is what you call leadership.

Albert was damn good last season, and fully recovered this offseason from injury, he's slated to have an even better season.

This offensive line is loaded with potential. Just got to put it all together.
 
Thank you Branden Albert! Apparently you've never seen any future for Dallas Thomas :up:
 
Albert is only 31? dang, he's got plenty of time left. Ogden played past 35 didn't he?
 
Nice hope that means Albert plans to stick around and move to guard next year
 
That's fantastic. I can't think of a better take to have on the situation. Maybe he's thinking coaching after playing career
 
Could be a reflection of how Branden feels about this coaching staff. Maybe he senses a long tenure and success ahead. It's a stretch. But if he sees playing LT two more years and a transition to G the last three of his years while competing for championships and still making good money. You can't really ask for better than that.

Shouldnt be any WHEN about it.

This is awsome of what albert is doing but he could be doing the same from the guard spot and mentoring our prized LEFT TACKLE on being a LEFT TACKLE!!!!!
