Phil Loadholt Impressions from BCS Title Game

I watched the BCS title game with my friend George last night. George is a 6'2, 320 lb man, who played a little bit of offensive line in college. He is the man I'm going straight to If I want an actual true evaluation of an offensive lineman. Last night, we got to watch the outstanding Left Tackle from Oklahoma, Phil Loadholt. He's certainly in the second tier of this years class of left tackles including Michael Oher and Andre Smith. He's 6'8 and 338 lbs, so what could be the problem.

Well, for me he stands a bit tall out of his stance. George noticed that he had a very powerful upper body so that makes up for it, but he will undoubtedly have to adjust when he moves up a level. With a good kick step, that creates a good pocket for the quarterback, he won't be a complete project on the pro level, but still, he's going to need some work.
