GAME FILM
​#16 ALEX WRIGHT VS LIBERTY (2021)

Strengths

• He has a massive frame with the length to be a force on every down.
• He uses his length to punch through the blocker with his practical hands.
• He has good lower body power and can absorb blocks to get upfield.
• He gets an extreme explosion of the ball and flies downhill in pursuit.
• He is physical and tries to play until the whistle

Weaknesses

• He does not show good flexibility, struggles to get low, and usually gets pancaked by the blocker.
• He does not play well in space; his rush inside needs work with more strength and power.
• He ducks his head, approaching his target, losing sight of the runner in the backfield.
• He lacks pass rush moves, generally rushing with his outside shoulders and erratic hands.

​Draft Projection: 3rd - 5th Down

NFL Comparison: Michael Johnson (Cincinnati Bengals)
