Desmond Wynn Scouting Report |
Desmond Wynn - Rutgers (HT: 6-5½ - WT: 303) |
Positives -- Has NFL size and strength for interior lineman and also has the frame to add a few pounds... Locks on defenders with his long 34" arms and drives them back; creates a ton of movement in the run game... Has the athletic ability to pull and get around the corner... Down blocks effectively,
washing the opponent down the line and away from the play... Average job executing combination blocks, keeps his head up to locate the defender... Has a mean streak and flashes physical play inside... Has played both guard positions throughout his college career; was part of an offensive line for a very effective rushing team... Has the potential to develop into a starting interior lineman in either a power scheme or a zone blocking scheme... While durability is a concern, he did fight through the minor injuries and played in 25 games over the last two seasons.
Negatives -- Footwork isn't sound and he loses balance because of it, ends up on the ground too often... Not the most athletic pass protector; needs to improve footwork to keep up with quicker interior lineman... Gets driven back to the quarterback in his passing sets, doesn't sink his hips and anchor against bull rushing linemen... Struggles to hit moving targets when he gets to the second level; doesn't roll his hips and explode into defenders... Plays too high, not a natural bender at the knees... Durability is a major concern, had two shoulder surgeries early in his collegiate career; sat out the 2008 because of a head injury... Suffered a knee injury in April, 2011; played through several other minor injuries for Rutgers in the last two seasons... Played a little at right tackle at the East-West Shrine game but doesn't have the lateral movement to protect the edge.
