Tony Bergstrom Scouting Report |
Tony Bergstrom - Utah (HT: 6-5⅜ - WT: 313) |
Positives -- Good size for an NFL lineman with a powerful body... Can win a battle with anyone in a phone booth... Disciplined player who is very quick off the snap of the ball... Does a good job sliding to the next level and finding his blocks in traffic... Is a good finisher who never gives up on a play... Does an
excellent job keeping his hands inside on the defender even when caught off balance... Shows very good leverage in both run and pass blocking keeping his hips low to the ground... Explodes out of his stance with leverage and delivers a very powerful initial blow when run blocking... Has the ability to take the defender completely out of the play... Does a good job picking up the blitz and is powerful enough to just chip the blitzer and throw him off his course... First team All-Pac 12 player in 2011 and has 39 career starts at the tackle position under his belt... Played the guard position at the Senior Bowl and performed well against some of the top prospects in this year's draft.
Negatives -- Arms are a little short for an NFL tackle... Has a very powerful body but could do a better job using his legs to drive defenders out of the box... Is not fast enough pulling down the line and will have difficulty trying to block athletic linebackers down field... Is a little slow coming backwards out of his stance, will need to shorten his steps to be an effective guard in a power blocking scheme or in pass protection... Needs to improve on his footwork in pass protection... Throws a powerful first punch but has a tendency to stop moving his feet after gaining the physical advantage over the defender in both the run and pass protection... Also has a tendency to stand up too straight in pass protection leaving him susceptible to a bull rush... Sometimes has trouble adjusting and re-setting after absorbing a strong initial punch from a defender... An overall tough player who doesn't have the athletic ability to play tackle in the NFL but could be a starting guard with some improvement in his footwork... Signed with Utah in 2005 but didn't enroll until 2008 following an LDS church mission, will be a 26-year-old rookie.
