Zabel’s transition from FCS tackle to NFL guard has been seamless. For clarity’s sake, the North Dakota State product did spend some time on the interior during the first few years of his college tenure, and he looks quite comfortable there now. Four games and 240 snaps into his professional career, Zabel has yet to commit a penalty or allow a sack. In fact, according to Next Gen Stats, he didn’t give up a single QB pressure until Week 4, when he yielded one on 29 pass-blocking snaps.
