They don't have highlights of players struggling OSUfan. You see it in the games. This is known that Spears isn't the best pass
blocker, same with Gibbs. One thing about Spears though is he at least shown at the Senior Bowl he is very willing to improve
this part of his game as you note. Still all for Spears if we pick him, just have to have a touch of concern with his pass pro.
Warming up to Laborn late. Could be a Simmons ST'er at the very least.
Good stuff, thanks for the names Synric.
Yep, Chase Brown would fit what we need big time. Another do it all RB like Charbonnet.
I am not calling anyone out but I would venture a good part of these boards had not watched a single Tulane football game in '22 so I would have to question this theory of it being seen in games on these boards. I have watched the tape that shows every offensive snap he was on the field that I can find available and I have not walked away with the concerns that others seem to be having. I would also argue that it is "known" that he struggles in pass protection.
The profile at NFL prospects does not elude to their being concerns with this facet of his game.

DraftNetwork stated that they wished Tulane had gotten him more involved in the passing game as he has not proven a consistent answer in pass protection. It does not say he struggled at it rather than leaned toward the issue of Tulane not involving him as much as they should have in the passing offense.

ProFootallNetwork states it probably better than anyone in that he does a good job in making the block and squaring his defender up but needs to be better at sustaining blocks. This could probably be stated about a large majority of running backs.
