Definitely has the kind of frame that somebody should take a chance on. Looks a little stiff/awkward


Butt too high, head down, only playing with his hands, feet like they are stuck in mud, not driving off the ball, doesn't get off of first contact... Surviving off of being the biggest guy out there.

But he's big... Can't teach that.

Thanks patendedgmf. First year at tackle, and I think previously playing center really shows what you are saying. His mom is going to send him to me (Atlanta) for a month in the summer so I can get him into some speed, agility and positional training.

This. He's got some potential though with his wingspan and size, hes just got to keep moving his feet when he makes contact. No reason some of those kids shouldn't end up on the ground.


Also, take out the clip at 2:24, its a pass play and he just runs down feild to the linebacker. Teach him a few things and he will be a college player for sure

this.

BUT, he may not have the proper coaching to get him out of his shell.
