John Estes joins Matt Tennant and Justin Walton as draftable centers in Ourlads Scouting Services eyes in 2010:
Plays in the spread offense where he shotgun snaps on every down. Explosive punch in pass protection. Quick hands with the ability to create separation. Physical player with quick feet to balance, slide, and adjust his blocks on the defender. Gains an advantage with his active feet. Moves his feet on contact. Good knee bend with a strong two arm extension lockout. Effective helping his guards inside in pass protection. Has the physical tools to play on the line of scrimmage and not get knocked back. Maintains position on pass rusher and is alert to blitzes. Can anchor and stop a charge. Rarely does he get driven back. Struggles at times on angles to cut off pursuit on the second level. Has the lateral agility and quickness versus a slant move.
