Jason Kelce to the Philadelphia Eagles: 2011 NFL Draft Scouting Report

Jason Kelce is a massive center, measuring in at 6'3" and 280 pounds. He ran a surprising 4.89 40-yard dash at the combine and is certainly quick on his feet. Kelce began his career at Cincinnati as a walk-on linebacker and earned the Scout Team Defensive Player of the Year Award during his redshirt season in 2006.

In 2007, the Bearcats moved Kelce to the offensive line, and he fit in perfectly. He started 13 games at left guard in 2008 and 2009. He was named second-team All-Big East in 2009 as a guard and again in 2010 as a center. Can play guard or center in the NFL, making him more valuable. 

NFL.com had this to say about Jason Kelce:

"

Has the feet and quickness to project well in a zone blocking scheme but still needs to become more consistent locating his man on the second level. Is never going to be a road-grading run blocker who blows defenders off the ball. Late-rounder or rookie free agent.

"

Kelce may take some time to develop into an NFL-caliber player, but he has shown the desire and work ethic to get it done. His versatility could get him on the field as a rookie if the Eagles line gets bit by the injury bug.  May be the only Eagles' lineman who can keep up with Mike Vick.
