Going further, Penning can absorb power, but he doesn’t always sustain blocks when he can’t make first contact. Penning’s grip strength — while solid — can be broken with forceful moves, and he keeps his hands too wide, opening up his torso. Additionally, there is some stiffness present when he needs to recover laterally. His feet are a bit heavy at times, although he generally moves well.


Among other notes, Penning’s hand precision still has some room for improvement, and his hands and feet can have better synergy. Penning can be grabby and penalty-prone when he loses leverage, and he sometimes goes too far with his nasty attitude after the snap.



On top of his athleticism, Penning has a massive, well-proportioned frame with elite length. His hands can be

It’s easy to fall in love with Penning’s upside and aggression. Beyond his nasty attitude and strength, Penning has a lot to clean up. Technical flaws like high pad level, inconsistent feet, and open hands could be easily exploited at the NFL level. His modest lateral stiffness also bears noting. Penning could move inside to guard, where his physicality would be maximized. But his high pad level would hurt there, too.

Heavy-footed and lumbers around the field despite the athleticism he displayed at the Combine. Occasionally bends at the waist. Lacks quick and natural footwork



If I'm the saints I'm giving penning time at rt. I know charles leno Jr had hip surgery but once healthy I'm signing him. He would solidify the lt spot and you could probably get him cheaper than most lt starters.
