With Farmer's length and quick twitch, the Colts view him as someone who can step in at right tackle if needed. However, guard is where he most likely finds a home in the NFL.
With Quenton Nelson on the left side and Matt Goncalves at right guard, there isn't a clear role for Farmer to step into right away. That said, he could end up pushing Goncalves this summer for those starting snaps on the right side of the line.
