Kenny Wiggins of Fresno State ~ 6.7/315
~ #60 ~
"A tall, decently put together tackle who possesses a long set of arms and does a nice job getting his hands up in front of him and keeping opposing linemen from getting into his frame. However, he isn't a real natural bender, struggles to sit into his stance and consistently allows himself to get overextended at the waist and doesn't generate nearly as much power on his punch as he should because of it.
Is an above average athlete off the edge and displays decent range, but he struggles to stay tight and compact with his footwork. Gets way too overextended initially on his kick slide, struggles to maintain balance and doesn't display the type of body control to quickly/cleanly redirect back inside and mirror in space. Too often is forced to lunge into defenders on any type of inside move and will easily then fall off blocks in the pass game. Also, is a major target to get overwhelmed on contact vs. the bull rush and worked backward into the QB's lap.
Doesn't display much snap off the football in the run game. Again, allows himself to get a bit upright, uncoils at the waist instead of the knees and isn't a guy who can gain leverage and drive defenders off the football. Displays some natural balance through contact and has some power in his upper body with above average hand placement. However, really lumbers on the move and isn't a guy who can consistently pull from the back or near side and reach defenders off his frame.
Impression: Possesses good size, but isn't a real natural bender which really limits what he can offer in both the run and pass game. More of a size free agent/camp body."

"Bio: Two-year starter awarded all-Conference honors since his junior season.
Positive: Large, lumbering lineman who is best in a small area. Flashes quickness off the snap, keeps his feet moving, and stays with the action. Makes good use of body positioning and uses his frame to seal defenders from the action. Quickly sets up in pass protection and anchors at the point.
Negative: Lacks overall blocking balance. Struggles to adjust.
Analysis: Wiggins is a big prospect who's done well on the college level but has limited upside for the NFL."

"Overview: 2010 - 1st Team All-WAC.
2009 - 2nd Team All-WAC on line that opened many holes for outstanding back Ryan Matthews
2008 - Limited action on FG and PAT teams.
Strengths: Good size and mass at OT. Experienced player who improved in off-season workouts. Effective in straight ahead blocking - not a mauler, but able to control his man. Decent upper-body strength.
Weaknesses: Very slow - quickness is average to below. Often beat by speed rush and double move. Does not shuffle and relocate well. Unathletic and would require much improvement to be effective at the next level.
Projection: UDFA"
