BIO: Three-year starter first used at guard before moving to left tackle as a senior.

POSITIVES: Tough, intelligent lineman best in a small area. Nasty, fights throughout the action and works to mash opponents. Effectively uses blocking angles, quickly picks up assignments and controls opponents once engaged in a block. Patient in pass protection, displays power run blocking and works his hands throughout the action. Quick kicking out and displays adequate skills on the second level.

NEGATIVES: Lacks flexibility, adjustment and not light on his feet. Marginal footwork sliding laterally and exploited by quick opponents. Stiff in his upper body.

ANALYSIS: Possessing only marginal size and athletic skills, Erickson is a justifiable prospect who.s fallen under the radar screens in NFL circles. Struggled at left tackle in Nebraska's new passing system last season yet a viable backup guard in the NFL.

PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
