Draft Rewind 2005 - Michael Roos - Tennessee Titans

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about MICHAEL ROOS: Eastern Washington, 6065 320 5.23. Three-year starter. Work in progress. Came to the United States from Estonia in the early 1990’s. Only played one year of high school football. Big, tough, physical player with good upper body strength. Can stop a defender’s charge with his punch. Can sit down and anchor the bull rush. Natural knee bender. Shows patience and rarely lunges or overextends. Powerful base blocker with good leg drive and initial pop to stand up opponent. Rarely on the ground. Intense. Works to finish. Team runs behind him. Leaks through and walls off linebackers. Mirror and slide in pass protection. Keeps feet under him. Good athletic ability. Runs his feet when he locks on target. Long torso guy. Thick everywhere. Dominated his level of competition. Literally drove a defensive tackle fifteen yards downfield. Effective on combos and switches. Keeps his feet in space. Hustles down field. Physically looks like John Tait. Good use of hands. Gets movement on line of scrimmage. Needs development time to get used to the speed, but is a late second or third round choice.

Junior entry. Former corner moved to running back in 2009. Electric speed with a slender lower body. Big Sky co-offensive player of the year. Outruns defenders at this level with rare track speed. Good balance. Good stop and go quickness. Can avoid tackles with quick feet. A bender/weaver type runner when he gets to the second level. Slippery to tackle. Prefers to run outside. If there is a big hole he’ll burst through it, but he dips in and turns it on to get outside. Doubtful if he will hold up because of his build as a running back. He broke his foot 12/11/10 in playoff game versus North Dakota State and missed the next 2 1/2 games. Broke his fibula in 2008. Had surgery on both shoulders, hand injury, hip flexor, and sports hernia in 2009. Started four games at corner in 2008 and may have a chance as a cover corner. He made 15 tackles in the Sacramento State game on 11/1/ 08. Also has skills as a kickoff return specialist. Averaged 7.9 yards per carry over 24 game career. Has skills as a corner projection For complete report see Ourlads Guide to the NFL Draft.
