A guy who seems to be rising up boards is Patrick Paul:
From Bleach Report:
HEIGHT: 6'7"
WEIGHT: 333
HAND: 9 3/8"
ARM: 36 1/4"
WINGSPAN: 86 3/4"
POSITIVES
— Excellent length with a tight clench and strong hands to tie up defenders once latched.
— Good athletic ability with the necessary quickness and agility to get to landmarks in pass protection and intersect targets on the move as a run-blocker.
— Casts a wide net with his length that helps him impede and slow down rushers who get to his edges.
— Good stopping power and strain in his anchor to promptly dissipate the bull rush.
— Brings an edgy, chippy play personality and finishes through the echo of the whistle.
NEGATIVES
— Upright playing style with an exposed chest and a propensity to hold defenders due to late, looping hand placement that results in his hands landing high and wide on target.
— Needs to do a better job of maximizing length and keeping defenders at his fingertips rather than allowing them access into his frame.
— Head dips into overextension on angle-drive/base blocks against post-snap movement across his face.
— Bad habit of drifting and oversetting on angled/45-degree sets, creating a soft inside shoulder against counter moves.
— Can get a little lazy at the top of the quarterback's drop, letting his pads rise before falling off late inside moves.
