Mark Lyons/Allsport
He is a former DL with a limited football background because of lack of experience and injuries, but like many Penn State players, he flourished when he moved from DL to OL in '97. He has a chance to be a natural left tackle and he has surprising agility, quickness and balance for his size. He has good overall power and is a solid lock-on guy. He is somewhat limited in his pass protection, but has enough AA to handle edge rushers. The only concerns among NFL teams are the stability of his knee and a tendency for him to disappear in some games and not always look intense, which may be a product of his lack of experience. The individual coaches workouts throughout the spring will go a long way to determining his draft status, but he is the one guy in this group that seems to have a "buzz".
