Eric Coleman Grade: 2.96  Position: DT  Class: Sr  School: Clemson  Conference: ACC  Ht., Wt.: 6-5, 288  40 Time: 5.2   Grading System

BIO: Moved into the starting lineup as a senior, posting 36/6/3.5 after 34/7/1 as a junior when used in a reserve role. POSITIVES: Alert lineman with good size for the inside. Plays heads-up football, effectively uses hand technique to protect himself and keeps opponents away. Reads the action, remains disciplined and locates the ball. Adequate skills moving laterally, strong in his upper body and gets push up the field. Seemed to work much harder as a senior than in previous campaigns. NEGATIVES: Lacks an explosive first step off the snap, speed to the flanks and at times looks sluggish. Gets tall and does not play with great balance. Previously chided for poor work ethic. ANALYSIS: A prospect who flashes ability, Coleman possesses size potential for the inside and the ability to become a big-bodied run-stuffer. Headed in the right direction although he does have a ways to go. PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
