I don't like his footwork, and I think he looks slow and clunky in his movement.
He also got by quite a lot with his length, mass, and strength against a majority of his college competition.
He definitely needs refinement to keep consistent success against NFL guys.
There's a reason he didn't run any agility drills. He knows he's not as athletic as guys 50-75 lbs lighter than him. He's a brute that is going to win with size, length, and power. If he's in a scheme that doesn't have him have to move as much/often, I think he'll be better.
I am nervous he can succeed if he's having to move a lot.
But is he the "glass eater" that Pollack likes? Absolutely.
Maybe he has "enough" athleticism where combined with his elite other attributes he will be fine. But you can't say he's one of the most athletic OTs in the class.
I think his footwork is good for his size… of course he’s not gonna be as athletic as 300lb lineman… but that’s where the size and length come in. Take kc for example. He’d be facing primarily a bull rusher. You’re not bull rushing jones. He got by quite a bit with his size length athleticism yes, because he has traits nobody has. I’d say there are 2 elite tackles in this class. Johnson and skoronski. Dawand jones would be 1a in that 2nd tier just a smidge above wright
