Our experts see Maurkice Pouncey as a solid pass protector.
Sporting News' Pro Football War Room has hundreds of player evaluations in preparation for the 2010 NFL draft. Here is a capsule look at prospect Maurkice Pouncey.
NFL position: C
Height: 6-4 1/2
Weight: 304
40 time: 5.27
Current projection: First-round pick
NFL comparison: Matt Birk, Ravens
Strengths: Is an athletic lineman who can pass block with good leverage, allowing him to slide side to side to adjust to quick pass-rush moves. Has a thick lower body and excellent natural strength. Shows good awareness to pick up delayed blitzes. Seals his man out of the play on inside runs.
Weaknesses: Does not block with good technique consistently. Often reaches to maintain blocks, falling off and losing the block. For a lineman with his size, athleticism and strength, ends up on the ground too often.
Related Links Ranking the Cs: Best of the best Super 99: War Room's rankings Bottom line: Pouncey, a junior, could have helped his draft stock by returning to Florida and working on his technique. He has great physical tools and competitiveness to excel but must improve his technique.
