Will Hernandez NFL Draft 2018: Scouting Report for New York Giants' Pick

Matt MillerApr 27, 2018

POSITIVES

—Mean, nasty, throwback blocker who wears a neck roll and wants to embarrass defenders.

—He's why the word "mauler" is used in scouting reports. Looks to dump every defender into the turf. Drive-blocker extraordinaire.

—Is tough and attacks every rep like a street fight.

—Short-area burst is above-average, and his knees bend well at the point of attack; has ideal balance and body control.

—Strength shows up on film and in workouts (37 bench-press reps). He can handle anything defenders throw at him be it a bull rush or speed-to-power conversion.

—Four-year starter at left guard.

—Plays much quicker than he looks and is a good overall athlete.

NEGATIVES

—Short, stocky player with average arm length (6'2", 327 lbs, 32" arms).

—Undisciplined after the whistle.

—Lunges off the snap at times and will surrender his leverage.

—Level of competition was low.

OVERALL

Will Hernandez is the type of guy you want protecting your back at night, and that's exactly what he'll do for NFL quarterbacks as a plug-and-play starter at left guard. He's athletic enough for zone schemes but has that old-school badass mentality to work in any scheme.

GRADE: 6.95 (Round 2)

PRO PLAYER COMPARISON: Richie Incognito, Buffalo Bills
