Greg Little | OT | Ole Miss
Height | 6-6
Weight | 325
Class | Junior
PROS
- Looks the part with an ideal frame, length, athleticism for the position.
- Above-average set-up quickness and movement skills to mirror rushers and control himself in space.
- Displays natural flexibility and bend to open his hips and redirect.
- Proper pad level off the snap and looks to extend and punch with his reach.
- Recovers well with terrific reactive athleticism to shuffle, sink, and anchor while maintaining his wide base. Good mental processing to pick up stunts.
- Rangy player who can get to the second level to seal up linebackers and block on the perimeter.
CONS
- Sloppy hand placement in his shuffle, struggling to keep his elbows inside to recoil and handle counter moves.
- Needs to consistently drop his hips off the snap and bring them forward in the run game. Not a power player for the position to move bodies or consistently anchor.
- Suffers mechanical breakdowns throughout the course of a game. Footwork and hands are still learning to work in sync together.
- Strikes are all over the place. Pass rushers can easily attack his chest and put him on his heels.
Summary
Displaying an ideal NFL frame for the position, Little has the athleticism, long arms and foot quickness to mirror rushers in space. He still needs to develop functional power and better his mechanics, primarily at framing his blocks and creating more push in the run game by being more physical.
His upside and athletic skill-level for a player his size are attractive qualities. While he is not a top-tier pro prospect compared to some of the others at his position due to his inconsistencies, Little has enticing traits and potential at the left tackle position in the NFL.
