Of course there are other factors which may be out of his control that are influencing that (injuries etc) but up to this point, it's pretty hard to argue that he's starter level LT type player.

"Up to this point" is 2 preseason games and the coaching acknowledges that early on, he may have some issues with his shoulder he'll have to work out. I certainly think he can play Stephenson level left tackle by mid-season, and if he can spend next season with a healthy shoulder to add much needed bulk, could continue to improve. I think there are plenty of reasons to think he could become a starter level LT. But not if people think it's going to happen in his second preseason game.
