Smith, Willie East Carolina 6053 310 5.41
Two-year starter who was a tight end in 2008. A tall and rangy
athlete with long arms and big hands. Plays left tackle in a
spread offensive system. Lines up in a two point stance. Struggles
to cut off a quick inside slant move. He does play with a good
power base in the pass game and maintains his base when sliding
his feet. Good lateral agility. A knee bender with good body
control and foot quickness. Flashes the ability to play on Sunday
but is not consistent in his play and has technique breakdowns.
Before he played tight end he was a defensive end and a defensive
tackle. With some developmental work, an offensive line coach
can make a diamond out of this lump of coal. Has many of the
raw tools to have a successful future.
