Caleb Lomu, Utah OT

Strengths

Great ability to recognize and respond to blitzes and stunts.
Technically very solid in pass protection - good hands, footwork, mirroring, etc.
Good level of aggression in the run game and plays through the whistle.
Good overall athlete.

Concerns/Weaknesses

Run blocking, overall, is average and needs improvement.
Average to below-average strength shows in the run and pass game.
Pad level is a touch higher than I would want it to be.

Key Statistics / Notes
Pass Rush Hurry Rate: 2.1%
Exclusive left tackle and only two years as a starter.

Summary

The redshirt sophomore is young and has some unfulfilled potential, and hopefully the NFL can bring that out. He might be one of the best overall pass protectors in the class, which is a thing the NFL covets, but the play strength absolutely needs to be improved. If it can be, I think you see some of the run game flaws to shape up, and then you might be looking into a very solid starter on that offensive line, specifically for a pass heavy offense.
