OG Sean Rhyan: Scouting Report
Ryan is a three-year starter at left tackle in college, and he has the ability to play either tackle or guard at the NFL level, which is a valuable skill to have. Just like most offensive line prospects, he comes in with great size to handle the physicality at the line of scrimmage. Rhyan struggled with penalties during his college career and will need to work on his technique to create more leverage over his opponents. These are areas that can be improved with NFL coaching, and we’ll see how Rhyan’s talent will translate.
POSITIVES
— Stout, thick build throughout his frame with above-average play strength.
— Shows good pop in his hands and grip strength to jolt, displace and feed defenders laterally on double-teams, plus compress, seal and pin defenders on down blocks to create lanes off his backside.
— Has the core and lower-body strength to brace, with impressive stopping power to anchor quickly against the bull rush.
— Takes solid angles up to the second level to intersect and disrupt pursuit angles
NEGATIVES
— Adequate athletic ability, lateral quickness and ability to redirect.
— Struggles to adjust his aiming points and connect against post-snap movement from shifty defenders, resulting in persistently lunging and getting beat clean across his face on kick-out blocks.
— Limited range in pass protection results in his hips turning too early and feet crossing over to protect the corner against speed-rushers, leaving him susceptible to getting beat inside across his face.
— Looks to have middling arm length that allows defenders easy access to his chest to stack and press him off of blocks.
