Impression: A right tackle prospect only who lacks the fluidity and footwork to play on the left side in the NFL.

Defense

Lamarr Houston: No. 33, DT, 6-2, 284

An undersized interior lineman who lacks power in his base and is consistently washed out of plays at the point of attack. Comes off the ball low and gets into blockers quickly, but simply doesn’t have the strength to be much of a factor in the run game. Displays good lateral quickness and has the burst to slant across the face of linemen. However, he lacks the body control to plant his foot in the ground and attack up field after he gains a step.

Struggles with his balance and doesn’t display the type of ability to change directions after his initial surge. Doesn’t have the power to fight his way through gaps inside and needs to cleanly fire past lineman off the snap in order to generate any kind of penetration.
