| Garth Gerhart Scouting Report |
| Garth Gerhart - Arizona State (HT: 6-1¼ - WT: 305) |
Positives -- Short powerful frame which allows him to get under the shoulder pads of the defender... Shows great power if able to get in under the defender... Does a good job getting the snap off and making adjustments after the snap... Has really good footwork in a two foot box... Excellent footwork
allows him to make adjustments after getting beat initially off the snap... Does a good job getting into the second level... Has good versatility; played three different positions during his 35 collegiate starts... A little small for an NFL lineman and therefore only suited to line up in the interior... NFL bloodlines, brother Toby is a running back for the Minnesota Vikings... Overall, Gerhart is a powerful player with the potential to develop into a decent spot starter of key reserve on the interior offensive line with good coaching.
Negatives -- Has a tendency to peel off his initial block too early in the run when trying to get to the next level... Athletic ability is below average; is slow getting down the line and downfield on traps, pulls and screens... Sometimes comes up slow out of his stance leaving him vulnerable to a bull rush and often struggles at the point of attack with nose tackles... Needs to be more aggressive; doesn't drive the defender out of the box... Needs to work on leverage and focus on rolling his hips to use his small powerful frame more effectively... Often stands up too high after the snap.
