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
