JEFF SANTACROCE
Position: C
Class: Sr
School: Lehigh
Conference: Patriot
Ht., Wt.: 6'2, 290
40 Time: 5.31
Grade: 3.05

BIO: Three-year starter and an All-Conference selection as both a junior and senior.

POSITIVES: Tough, durable lineman best in confined quarters. Hard working and fights hard to finish his blocks. Quick off the snap, immediately gets his hands into the opponent and turns defenders out of the action. Effectively leads the offensive line and looks to help out linemates or hit the opponent.

NEGATIVES: Lacks the strong base and pushed off the point of attack. Not a natural knee bender, has difficulty in space and gets upright over the course of action.

ANALYSIS: Marginal athlete with limited upside for the next level but tenacity and intelligence may help him find a role as a reserve player.

PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
