 Matt Ulrich Grade: 3.01
 Position: OG
 Class: Sr
 School: Northwestern
 Conference: Big Ten
 Ht., Wt.: 6-2, 305
 40 Time: 5.1
 

BIO: Three-year starter experienced at both guard positions. Possesses good weight room numbers, which include a bench press in excess of 500 pounds.

POSITIVES: Strong blocker best in confined quarters. Quick setting in pass protection, immediately engages opponents off the line run-blocking and turns defenders out. Stays square, fights with his hands and displays good awareness. Anchors at the point in pass protection and seals defenders from the play with good body positioning.

NEGATIVES: Lacks adjustment, blocking range and ineffective on the second level. Presents himself as a limited athlete. Lacks blocking balance and only sustains for short periods.

ANALYSIS: Possessing both the build and strength for the guard or center position, Ulrich made progress as a senior, yet has marginal potential at the next level. Versatility is a key factor and could help him catch on as a backup for a power running team.

PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
