OVERALL

Clay Webb is a three-year starter at left guard inside Jacksonville State's run-heavy (67-33 run-pass split), zone-based run scheme with counter concepts mixed in. Webb has a sturdy, well-rounded build with adequate arm length, athletic ability, solid play strength and good power.

Webb wins as a run-blocker in the post on double-teams and on angle-drive blocks where he covers up and uproots his target to drive them onto their heels. He strains hard and runs his feet with a physical demeanor through the whistle that can generate the occasional knockdown. Webb has mediocre body control with rigid movement ability and rising pads late in the rep that saps his ability to adjust, sustain and recover out of compromising positions.

In pass protection, Webb excels when he gets his hands on rushers, quickly using a stiff, jolting punch with a firm anchor to stymie the bull rush. While he does well against power-oriented rushers, his below-average movement skills, length and exposure in pass protection show up in his inconsistent ability to slide, redirect and recover against countermoves.

Overall, Webb's lack of length, movement skills and polish in pass protection will make it difficult to stay at guard full-time in the NFL. But after a solid Senior Bowl showing at center with his play strength, he has a viable developmental pathway to stick on a roster at the pivot with the ability to get a team out of a pinch at guard.
