Corbin Bryant of NorthWestern ~ 6.4/285
"Possesses a good initial first step out of his stance when asked to one-gap and get up the field. However, lacks power on contact and can be stonewalled once an opposing lineman gets his hands on him. Needs to do a better job extending his arms and gaining inside leverage, as he consistently gets his hands outside the opposing lineman's frame and can be sealed easily from the football. Isn't real instinctive, has a tendency to take himself out of plays and is slow to read and diagnose inside.
Now, he definitely has some get-off burst as a pass rusher and will try to cross the face of opposing linemen with his arm-over move. But he isn't real compact with his arms and exposes too much of his body when trying to disengage, allowing blockers to easily get into his frame. Gets too upright on his bull rush and struggles to create a real push at the point of attack. Now, he does do a nice job keeping his base down initially when shooting gaps up field and can win with his first-step burst and occasionally create behind the line. But, he's more of a linear athlete who really struggles to break down when asked to redirect and close on the football.
Impression: Has a first step that allows him to create at times up the field. However, he wasn't effective in any area of the game if he couldn't win initially off the line inside. But, he could be an interesting developmental defensive end prospect both in a 3-4 and 4-3 scheme at the next level."

"Bio: Three-year starter who totaled 25/8.5/1 as a senior after putting up junior numbers of 30/5.5/2.5.
Positive: Explosive one-gap penetrator with good movement skills. Displays terrific first step quickness, quickly changes direction, and is fluid moving out to the flanks. Constantly draws double teams on the inside.
Negative: Easily knocked off balance by the first block. Gets tall out of his stance and makes himself an easy target. Moderately productive on the college level.
Analysis: Blanc is a hardworking college prospect who gets the most from his ability yet lacks the natural size and athleticism to be anything other than a camp body in the NFL."
