Either not very athletic, but they can drive off the ball.
Or they are very athletic, but don't have much strength.
This was a big thing when Ogbuehi and Fisher were drafted. They were athletic but needed strength and refinement.
Exactly who I was thinking of....The two that set the Bengals back for years.
Faalele and Brown (Spencer) are insanely athletic for men of their size. I love Brown as a prospect, but wouldn't want to try and start him at RT this year. But I think with a year of coaching, he could be a pillar for a long time. Faalele worries me a little bit that with that massive size that his knees and/or back would have issues long term, but there are no men in the league with his size/strength that also have his agility.
Lapham used to call it "the planet theory": There just aren't many men on the planet like him.
