OG Lonnie Edwards of Texas Tech ~ 6.4/320
"A thick, girthy offensive lineman with natural thickness through both his upper and lower half. Plays with a mean streak, has a passion for the game and likes to get after it as a run blocker. However, doubles over at the waist into his stance, sits high and plays straight-legged.
Displays decent natural power on contact, but doesn’t create much leverage for himself and his weight is always over his knees as he lunges into contact and struggles to maintain balance. To his credit stays upright for the most part, but doesn’t stick well through contact and easy to slip. Works his hands hard, but isn’t overly coordinated initially into contact.
Is a better counter puncher when engaged, but struggles to uncoil with much coordination and really deliver a jolt -most likely because he’s often off balance. Is limited in space and isn’t a guy who can routinely reach defenders off his frame and breakdown on contact.
Displays better bend in his stance in pass protection, however, gets upright initially off the ball. Again, works his hands well as a counter puncher inside, which helps with leverage and his ability to anchor with a little consistency through contact. However, isn’t real fluid laterally and struggles to reach initial quickness off his frame. Doesn’t have the recovery speed to make up for a false step and mirror and isn’t a real natural shuffle and slide player.
Impression: A tough, try hard kid who doesn’t have the bend to gain leverage and struggles to hold his own athletically even at the college level."
