GAME FILM
​#79 Josh Ball vs Clemson (2017)

Strengths: He produces the absolute height and size for an NFL offensive tackle. His length is enormous, with long arms that he uses to retain the defender's pressure. He is explosive out the stance and can get to the second level with relative ease. A tremendous athlete who can pull smoothly to make the block for the run lanes. He has excellent agility to move laterally, hook and seal the edge. He excellent feet and recovers well when beaten by the defender to save a sack. His frame is his best weapon that will make it challenging for EDGE or outside rushers.
​
Weaknesses: He can use more punch and a more substantial grip when engaging with the defender. He lacks the skill of maintaining leverage while leaning forward out the stance. He will need to develop the skill to play below pad level. He will get exposed to counter moves and whiffs when attempting to overpower the rusher. At the point of attack, he needs to win the battle more than trying to recover.  He tends to get out of his stance late during pass protection.

Draft Projection: 4th Round

NFL Comparison: Ryan Schraeder (Atlanta Falcons)
