SIZE/PHYSICAL TRAITS (5/5)

• Adequate height and weight for an NFL guard
• Good length for the interior with 34 1/8″ arms
• Length, athleticism and previous right tackle experience could make him an emergency fill-in candidate on the outside

PASS BLOCKING (24/30)

• Wasn’t exposed to a lot of true pass sets because Boston College went heavy on the play-action and rollouts, but he did sustain blocks fairly well in both situations
• Shows good mirror ability from the interior
• Handles quick interior defensive lineman without issue
• Solid anchor to shut down power rushers

RUN BLOCKING (15/20)

• Does well to seal defenders as a backside run blocker
• Capable of generating movement at the point of attack, but he doesn’t always maximize his power by playing with leverage
• Athletic enough to pull and reach landmarks in zone concepts, but inconsistent in his ability to square up second level defenders

TECHNIQUE (11.25/15)

• Typically patient in pass protection but he’ll get caught lunging occasionally
• Typically times punches well and strikes with good accuracy
• Could play with better control and balance when climbing to block at the second level
• Pad level can get high as a run blocker — doesn’t always unlock full lower body power to drive defenders off the ball

MOVEMENT SKILLS (9/10)

• Very good recovery athleticism
• Fluid mover in space as a puller
• Quickly reaches landmarks as a pulling lineman

MENTAL PROCESSING (7/10)

• Showed solid blitz recognition, though he could be quicker to recognize delayed blitzes
• Got his wires crossed on a few occasions and failed to pick up the inside man when two unblocked defenders flashed in front of his face

FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH (8/10)

• Shows a pretty strong anchor against power rushers — occasionally gave up some ground to powerful pass rushers but typically recovered/re-anchored well
• Appears to have good upper and lower body power but doesn’t play with proper leverage to maximize it

OVERALL GRADE: 79.25/100.00 — EARLY 2ND ROUND — Complimentary starter or raw player with star potential

SCHEME FIT: Guard in a gap scheme or zone-blocking scheme; center is a possibility

DRAFT PROJECTION: Top-40 pick
