#52 Mclendon curtis
right guard
highlights (2022)

Strengths

weakness

• He has a massive frame that is good for an NFL offensive lineman. 
• He has a compelling frame that will swallow a rushing defender. 
• He has very long arms, which is odd for an offensive guard with tremendous upper-body strength that will neutralize the rusher.
• He is one of the stronger linemen in the draft who has deadlifted 775 pounds and power-cleaned 345 pounds.
• He uses that power to help generate accurate blocks as a puller. 
• He sets a great anchor against bull-rushing rushers.
• He is mobile and will displace the defender at the point of contact.

• He has a knack for getting above the pad level allowing the rusher to punch him in the chest.
  
• He must work on his speed, as he is late on the snap count.
  
• He needs help with speedy pass rushers or rushers with counter moves.
  
• He needs to work with his feet, and he will get heavy-footed.
  
• He will struggle to recover after getting beat by athletic and crafty speed rushers.
  
• He is not agile and will get beat off the snap of the ball, especially with a slow kick slide.
