The Denver Broncos interviewed Oregon offensive lineman Shane Lemieux at the NFL combine last week, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.
Lemieux (6-4, 310 pounds) ran a 40-yard dash in 5.11 seconds and ran a 20-yard shuttle in 4.9 seconds at the combine. He also posted a vertical jump of 25.5 inches and a broad jump of 107 inches.
NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein has compared Lemieux to Laken Tomlinson, who was selected by the Detroit Lions in the first round of the 2015 draft.
“He should be OK as a run blocker early on, but his issues in pass protection might not be quickly fixed and could push him into the ‘good backup, eventual starter’ category,” Zierlein wrote of Lemieux.
Lemieux is the fourth-best interior offensive lineman in this year’s class, according to Draft Wire’s Luke Easterling. He is projected to be a first- or second-round pick in April’s draft, according to WalterFootball.com.
The draft will take place in Las Vegas from April 23-25.
