STEPHEN PETERMAN

Position: OG Class: Sr School: LSU Conference: SEC Ht., Wt.: 6'4, 312 40 Time: 5.56 Grade: 3.52 Selected by Dallas Cowboys Round 3, pick 20 (83 overall)

BIO: Three-year starter named as a first team All American and all-league selection last year. Started his LSU career on the defensive line. POSITIVES: Nasty blocker that excels in a small area. Quickly gets off the ball, explosive at the point of attack and easily turns defenders from the action. Quick with his hands, jolts opponents with a punch of his arm and stays square, fighting hard throughout the action. Disciplined, intelligent and immediately picks up assignments. Anchors in pass protection and a masher that uses all his assets to the fullest. NEGATIVES: Stiff, lacks footwork in space and the ability to slide laterally. Not effective on the move and an average athlete. ANALYSIS: A tough guy with a good head for the position, Peterman has been a productive college guard that plays with the mentality of a defensive lineman. Naturally strong and explosive in his lower body, he will be an asset for a power running offense. PROJECTION: Late Third Round Photo: Brian Bahr/Getty Images
