I like the look of this guy a lot! Big body. Never gets pushed back. Seems very quick to react and adjust who he's blocking or throw a chip block on a double team...

Question though: Is it normal for a guy to grab jersey as much as he does (pretty much every play)? He keeps his hands inside the shoulders so it never looks like holding. But he takes a fistful of jersey every play like it's his plan. Will he get called for that?

Not if he moves his feet with the rusher.

Moves really good and efficiently. Doesn't waste motion and strong at the point of attack. Not really a mauler like Nelson but a good option in day 2 for us. Great footwork in his pass set. There's a couple of technical things he can work on but that where his potential comes in. Watch if he gets coached up right and starts trying to attack a little lower. I like this guy over Billy Price of Ohio State
Height: 6-3 Weight: 330

Price is a C doe.

He played guard against Michigan and was all over the place

6-2 340 LBs....that doesn't sound like a zone blocking OG to me.

Not a fit though. He would get the josh Garnett treatment if he were to get drafted by us

"Moving inside, the best guard coming into this week was UTEP's Will Hernandez, and he put his power on display. Weighing in at 340 pounds, Hernandez has a framed completely maximized. He gave up zero inches all day and pushed back any defender lined up across from him. He was the one guy who got audible "wows" from scouts and fans alike, including myself."

I'll post this here as well.
