That will be obviously determined based on how he fares at training camp and the preseason. However, as Offensive Line Coach Pat Meyer explained a few months back, he'll be given every opportunity to start.

"He'll get reps with the ones," Meyer told reporters. "We'll split reps with the ones, split reps with the twos. I'll flip him (to the) right (and) left side. We'll compete there, and if things work out like I think they will, I think he'll be fine being inside."

Meyer's not the only one prepared to be peppered with questions about Lamp throughout training camp. Even though he's barely seen the field over his first two seasons, General Manager Tom Telesco, Head Coach Anthony Lynn and the rest of the team's decision makers field perhaps more questions about the guard than any player on the roster.

That was once again the case in Telesco's offseason mailbag, when several questions came in about Lamp's progress. In what will be music to fans' ears, the general manager offered encouraging comments about the 6-4, 310-pound guard.

"It wouldn't be a mailbag without a Forrest Lamp question, right?" Telesco remarked. "You will be happy to know that he has looked great in the offseason program. I am very pleased with where he is right now. And he handled last year like a pro because I know it was not easy on him. He wants to play and contribute. We will see how things play out in training camp, but I suspect you will be seeing a lot more of Forrest. There's going to be a spirited competition in camp, and it will make our OL better as a whole."
