And a very big position of need. I'll take it.First team all conference and third team all American at that level.
Not too shabby
As long as he doesn’t have to run 10 yards…….
He's very athletic, strong, and quick, but he's very raw. He's only been playing O-line for 2 years.I know nothing about him, someone give me the quick, but honest, rundown.
He may be a candidate to move to OGJust watched what I could from his game vs Kentucky this year. His play is really good for a 7th rounder. I was expecting to see someone fighting for their life, but he really was stonewalling rushers. This is great value.
His biggest issue is that he looks pretty slow against the speed rush. Like stuck in mud. Mostly it looks like he might just be about 25 pounds too heavy for his athleticism to keep up with. He will need to get that to a serviceable level if he ever wants to see the field, but other than that he was really good against Kentucky.
Seeing now that he's a converted DT and that makes sense based on his weight and lack of technique against the speed rush. But you can't move this guy. He reminds me of Landon Turner who we drafted a few years ago who was also a really good blocker but struggled with speed issues. Hopefully things work out better for him.
Josiah Ezirim is a very intriguing prospect, I don't think he goes undrafted. His high zone grade comes from his prototypical size paired with surprising quickness, nimbleness, and athleticism. He's VERY raw. Played at a small school against inferior competition, and lacks proper technique. He started out as a Defensive lineman, but switched to Oline 2 years ago and has played very well, despite poor technique. He is the kinda prospect that could get drafted late or signed as a UDFA and after a few years of development could turn into a phenomenal starter.
