Lacks a mean streak and doesn't regularly finish blocks to the whistle.Īt California - (Official School Bio) Started all 51 games possible during his Cal career from 2008-11 at either left tackle (35) or right tackle (16) after redshirting the 2007 season in his first campaign with the program. Probably only a right tackle prospect so he doesn't have to play as much speed on the outside edge. Doesn't play with the same leverage in the passing game as he does in the running game, plays too high. Gets off balance too often, creating an opportunity to be beaten with push or pull moves.
Doesn't rely on his footwork and technique in pass protection, will try to overpower the defender and lunge.
Doesn't have the foot speed to stay in front of speed rushers. Negatives - He will most likely struggle with pass protection at the next level. Good bloodlines, brother Geoff is a starting tackle for the Carolina Panthers. A very experienced player, started in all 51 games possible over four seasons versatile, made 35 starts at left tackle and 16 starts at right tackle. Tough player who has no problem mixing it up in the trenches. Gets to defenders quickly in the run game, proficient on the move, smoothly transitions to the second level. Provides a better than average punch at the point of attack, strong enough to anchor against bull rushers, sinks hips well. Consistently pumps his strong legs and drives opponents. To make a block, gets a low pad level and delivers a powerful jolt that knocks the defenders back.
