Goncalves is likely going to be a swing lineman for the Colts next season. He has experience at both tackle spots, playing 11 games at left tackle and 13 at right tackle, but can also move to the inside in the NFL. The Colts see him as an elite pass protector after he allowed just 3 sacks in 900 pass block attempts in college. And in fact, all 3 of those sacks came as a freshman, he didn't give up one since then.
