| Riley Reiff Scouting Report |
| Riley Reiff - Iowa (HT: 6-5¾ - WT: 313) |
Positives -- Seems to be comfortable in both the run and pass game, which makes him a very valuable asset in the NFL... Moves with the defender very well in pass coverage and may be the best inside blocker in the draft... Has a great outside step, but can also shuffle inside to prevent a defender from
undercutting his block... Very shifty pass blocker, can stick with defenders no matter where they go... Very quick on his feet, blocks on his toes, never seems be caught blocking a defender on his heels... Always moving forward and pushing the pass rusher... Even if he has to take the defender behind the pocket, he continues to push, instead of simply just getting in the way... Has a very uncanny ability to move around the pocket for a left tackle... Constantly driving the defender forward, even in the passing game... Is a very tenacious blocker, especially in the running game where he can drive his defender up-field... When he's on a block in the run game, he drives forward extremely well for a left tackle... Very good down-blocker in the run game, cuts off the edge nicely... Very good motor for being such a big man, is always moving his feet.
Negatives -- Occasionally has a problem getting his helmet on the right side in the running game... If he's beaten in the run game, usually not because he was beat physically, but more so in the sense that he blocked his defender into the play... Seems to have an issue if he has to help chip on another defender... Very good one-on-one blocker, but seems to have a problem chipping to the inside and helping the guard if needed... Very aggressive blocker, which is good in most cases, but there is reason to believe that veteran NFL defenders will use his aggression against him and get him off balance, has showed signs of being susceptible to that... Some teams have reportedly moved him to guard on their draft board, arms are slightly shorter than NFL teams prefer for left tackles.
