Gets up to speed quickly and has a slight second gear when asked to get down the field. Possesses the balance to change directions at full speed, but has a tendency to round off his routes. Lacks strength and physicality off the line and isn’t asked to face much press coverage from the slot.

Impression: A slot guy only. Is never going to be a wideout who can beat press coverage and play on the outside at the next level.

Chris Hall: No. 71, C, 6-4, 300

Displays a good first step, but lacks the power in his lower half to drive defenders off the ball. Needs to do a better job gaining inside position and wining initial hand battles on contact. Works hard to stay on blocks in the run game and angle defenders out of the play, but simply doesn’t have the natural power to get any kind of push up front.

Exhibits smooth footwork in the pass game and redirects quickly in space. Displays natural flexibility and does a nice job extending his arms, but is susceptible to the bull-rush and can get rocked backward at the point of attack.Impression: A tall, long center who plays with natural flexibility, but lacks the power to get much of a push vs. NFL defensive tackles.

Charlie Tanner: No. 52, OG, 6-4, 305
