| Lennon Creer Scouting Report |
| Lennon Creer - Louisiana Tech (HT: 5-11⅜ - WT: 219) |
Positives -- Good frame, has a strong upper body and huge legs which make him tough to bring down, really fights through arm tackles... Utilizes a strong
stiff arm to get off defenders... Great balance, has an uncanny ability to stay upright while absorbing contact... Quick feet through the hole, cuts very well; is a natural runner, looks smooth... A good fit for a zone blocking scheme... Good receiving ability, should be able to contribute in passing situations... A willing pass blocker... Was named Most Valuable Player of the Shrine Game, ran 15 times for 80 yards including a nine yard touchdown run with 47 seconds left, lifting the West to a 24-17 victory... Was later invited to the Senior Bowl, had a great All-Star circuit and moved up a lot of draft boards in the process.
Negatives -- Lacks a second gear, has just average speed, looks faster on film mostly because of the level of competition he's playing against, will have a hard time out-running NFL defenders... Would like to see him shift speeds, always seems to be running at the same pace which makes him somewhat predictable... Runs a bit upright which makes him susceptible to big hits and he may have some fumbling problems in the NFL... Lacks burst and explosion at the second level, doesn't have any suddenness to make him dangerous in the open field... Would like to see him run between the tackles more, tries to break too many runs to the outside... Doesn't always get good forward push when being tackled, can get knocked backwards... Suffered an injury in a November game against Mississippi and was forced to miss Louisiana Tech's final three games, including the Poinsettia Bowl... Production should seriously be brought into question, failed to dominate even WAC competition... Known for being a bit immature... Tennessee transfer who had to sit out the 2009 season, will turn 24 years old during his rookie season.
