DAVID DIEHL

Position: OG Class: Sr School: Illinois Conference: Big Ten Ht., Wt.: 6'6, 310 40 Time: 5.28 Grade: 3.4 Selected by New York Giants Round 5, pick 25 (160 overall)

BIO: Versatile offensive lineman experienced at the guard and tackle positions. Starter the past two seasons, primarily a right guard, after being a top backup early in college. POSITIVES: Intelligent lineman best in a small area. Quick in his head, works well with line-mates and effectively uses body positioning to wall out defenders. Immediately gets his hands into defenders, strong upper body and controls opponents once engaged in a block. Works to stay low and sets with a wide base. NEGATIVES: Not quick into blocks, only a marginal athlete and not effective in space. ANALYSIS: Feel for the position and versatility could help him catch on at the next level as a reserve lineman. PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
