School: Oregon

Position: Center

Class: Junior

Height: 6'3

Weight: 320 lbs

Draft Projection: Late 1st round to Early 3rd round

 

Strengths:


  • Plug-and-play lineman

  • Quick-twitched athlete

  • Compact and powerful build

  • High football IQ

  • Physical at the point of attack

  • Natural brute strength

  • High-motor player

  • Plays with a mauler's mentality

  • Elite versatility - run and pass blocking

  • Excellent recognition skills

  • Incredible open field mobility

  • Masterful at reaching the second level

  • Active hand in pass protection

  • Plays with a strong base with quick feet

  • Good understanding of angles

  • Recoils quickly when out of position

 

Weaknesses:


Despite being effective in pass protection, he possesses minimal length, which could be an issue when dealing with longer interior linemen at the next level. When it comes to pas level, Powers-Johnson has a habit of playing a little high, which compromises his leverage in one-on-one battles. When moving in open space, Powers-Johnson needs to be a little more aware of his surroundings, as he has the tendency to fall off balance on outside zone runs.
