So there’s that



And there’s this. His concerns for nfl draft.
quote:

Tall for a center, losing some leverage battles because of it. Athletic ability offset by below-average core strength. Doesn't play with the pad level or leg drive to uproot defenders without help. Gets jarred by power across from him. Upper body strength needs work. Anchor will always be an issue against zero-technique nose guards. Gives into pocket pushers, creating traffic in the backfield. Defenders able to drive through his edge and redirect attempts. Can be quicker into proper positioning for reach blocks. Has difficulty securing zone blocks at times.



I’m picking Pocic as an example of what height can do for an interior lineman. I’m not shitting on the guy. He could push me around with one arm on roller skates.

I was thrilled when we landed him from The Midwest and hoped that trend continued.

I could go on, but the post noted that a man that is 6-6 or 6-7 at center is vulnerable for getting leveraged, and feelings get hurt.

The question was “Tell me about what you saw in Ethan Pocic at center here at LSU”. I posted what others who are involved with college football for a living saw in him. If we’re talking college football (which this board is about) he was an outstanding center evidenced by his accolades.

College and NFL are very different. Some who were not standouts in college do well in the NFL and visa versa.
