|
| Formerly a tight end, Free has grown into a terrific offensive tackle. Offers a lot of upside for the next level yet may be incorrectly evaluated because of his injury last season. Possesses starting potential and is a bargain outside of the draft’s first day. |
| Biography: |
Four-year starter awarded All-Conference honors each of the last
three seasons.
Pos:
Smart, alert lineman who stands out in pass protection. Displays a
lot of quickness, recognizes blitzes and is an outstanding position
blocker who makes effective use of angles. Stays square, keeps
defenders in front of him and fights with his hands. Strong in pass
protection and anchors at the point. Turns defenders from their angle
of attack and keeps his feet moving on contact.
Neg:
Not a dominant run blocker nor a true finisher. More of a finesse
lineman than an outright mauler. Suffered a stress fracture in his
foot early last season that hampered his play all year. |
