GAME FILM​
​#71 CHRIS PAUL VS OHIO ST (2021)

Strengths

• He is a cerebral player and the fastest linemen at the combine, tying with two others for the second-fastest 40-time.
• His specialty is mauling the defender in front of him at the initial point-of-attack at the line of scrimmage. 
• He is a powerful run blocker that packs a good thump which is his best attribute.
• He establishes his leverage with significant hip and knee bend to maintain his position while driving to open up running lanes.
• He fires out low and with a vicious behavior to control his gap in goal-line and short-yardage situations.
• He uses his exceptional speed to get out in front of the second level of defenders.
• He has quick feet allowing him to kick, slide and open up against the pass rush

Weaknesses

• His skill level will require more work for the next level. 
• He does not possess elite lateral movement because of choppy heavy footwork.
• His speed does not translate to his limited blocking range; he will struggle in space, especially while trying to the second level.
• He will try to make up for mistakes overcompensating by leaning out, overextending himself, lunging at the defender while.
• He will struggle with speed rushers and attempt to find his range with his speed.
• He often gets above the pad-level, losing leverage and creating a disaster with his undisciplined play.
• Has versatility to play guard or tackle, better fit at guard with lack of skills at tackle
• He needs to use better hand placement as he regularly as the rusher will knock them down to blow up the play.

Draft Projection: 5th - 7th Round
