| David Molk Scouting Report |
| David Molk - Michigan (HT: 6-0⅞ - WT: 298) |
Positives -- Has very quick first step, does a good job of quickly getting into his passing sets, gets his head up quickly after snap to locate defenders... Does a good job of getting movement at the point of attack... Understands leverage and uses it to his advantage... Has solid lower body that absorbs bull
rushes... Uses a strong punch to knock bigger defenders back... Plays with good balance, resets well after initial push... Good lateral movement, does a great job of staying in front of opponents... Quick to get out on pulls and traps, getting upfield and in position to block while using correct angles... Nimble out in space, puts himself in tremendous position to make blocks... Snaps are consistent both out of the gun and under center... High football IQ, makes all the calls for the line, recognizes blitzes... Team player who never gives up on a play, tough and hard-working... Four year starter who has played through injuries that eventually required surgery... Weight room warrior, posted 41 reps of 225 lbs. at the combine... Smaller and quicker center; would be a perfect fit for a zone blocking scheme, reminds me a lot of Jeff Saturday.
Negatives -- Undersized center prospect... Doesn't consistently get good hand placement and tends to grab bigger players... Can have trouble sustaining blocks, is susceptible to pull moves... Oversets at times when asked to pass block... Can be pushed back by big defenders that bull rush, not a mauler and can have trouble creating space against bigger players... He is not scheme diverse and will only be considered by certain teams... Durability concerns, suffered a broken foot and torn ACL in 2009, then as a senior tore a tendon in his foot during the Sugar Bowl that required surgery and forced him to miss the Senior Bowl.
