GAME FILM
#74 Liam Eichenberg vs florida st (2020)

Strengths: He has mammoth size and a NFL offensive tackle prototype, with a tremendous wingspan and long arms. Tremendously athletic and quick off the ball. As a run blocker, his initial point of attack displays an impactful punch. He has excellent potential as a mauler, and once his grip is applied, it is lights out for the defender—a cerebral player who has excellent recognition in the passing game with pass protection. Rarely will he be surprised with stunts and blitz from the second level. He drops an excellent anchor to protect against attempts of bull rushers. He slides well in protection to shut down the range of the speedy pass rushers.

Weaknesses: Despite his athleticism around the interior line, film study proves that he does not play well in space. He lacks the mobility to climb out to the second level and reach the linebackers and safeties. Eichenberg may benefit from better blocking in heavy zone schemes or power runs; in any other scheme, he tends to maintain proper hand placement. He tends to play above pad level by springing up at the defender, yielding leverage, and not reestablishing his power.

Draft Projection: 3rd - 5th round

NFL Comparison: Garrett Boles (Denver Bronco's)
