Amini Silatolu Scouting Report |
Amini Silatolu - Midwestern State (HT: 6-3⅝ - WT: 311) |
Positives -- Played left tackle in college, but skill set and size translates to guard in the NFL... Average size for guard at the next level and has some solid athleticism for his size... Has quick, nimble feet to position and square himself to defenders... Slides very well to mirror defenders... Quick first step
to get out and pull... Has ferocious hands and a violent punch that knocks opponents to the ground... Consistently puts defenders on their backs, completely takes opponents out of the play by driving them back in the run game... Has very good upper body strength to control and steer defenders... Plays with very good leverage and can anchor against bull rushes... Has the ability to sustain blocks for long periods of time... Mobile athlete that quickly gets to second level and delivers hits on linebackers, very agile in space... Active and hustles on screens and pulls... Remarkable ability to get downfield and be in position to block for a running back... Nasty player who doesn't let up and always finishes his blocks.
Negatives -- Overextends and gets off balance trying to pancake defenders at times... Hasn't had much experience playing guard, possible slight adjustment firing off from a three point stance from the interior... Footwork is not consistent, got away playing with questionable techniques at the Division II level but that won't work in the NFL... Has some trouble picking up blitzes and stunts... Sometimes struggles in pass protection with quicker players... Had signed with Nevada but did not qualify academically for the 2009 season... Lack of competition playing for Division II Midwestern State.
