Jon AsamoahGuard, Illinois
6-4, 305
Projection: 2nd round
Has a great combination of size, athletic ability and strength. Very smart – has received academic honors. Very tough in the trenches – has good pop at the point of attack and can root defenders off the ball.
Very strong and plays with a mean streak –will bury his opponent when given the chance. Plays with good leverage. Moves well and can get out and pull as well as reach linebackers on the second level. Shows good balance, quickness and flexibility to make open field blocks. Plays hard and works to the whistle. Above average pass blocker – shows good initial punch, plays light on his feet and can recover when he gets caught out of position. Holds his ground well vs. bull rushers. Will need to improve his overall technique. Understands protection schemes. Picks up stunts and blitzes well. Very durable – did not miss a game in college.
