2015 NFL Draft Prospects: The Top-10 Most Pro Ready
Andrus Peat is the best tackle in the draft this year but for some reason doesn’t get enough credit. It’s mainly because the supposedly doesn’t have the mean streak some the other tackles have. And then some of it is because he doesn’t have the build of a guy Dallas Cowboys center Tyron Smith.
Impact and Production
Peat was named an All-Amerian and won the Morris Trophy for best offensive lineman in the Pac 12. In his time at Stanford, the offensive lines he played on were always among the best in college football. They were always right there at the top as far as of rushing yards and sacks allowed.
Ability
Peat is 6’7″, 313 pounds with long arms at 34 3/8 inches and huge paws (hands) at 10 5/8 inches. He didn’t do the bench press but he is big and powerful with plenty of play strength to do the job. He ran a 5.18 in the 40 dash and displayed plenty of foot quickness in drills to protect on the left side.
Understanding
Peat’s technique is solid with good hand placement to go with a solid kick-slide, staying patient instead of lunging. He also comes from a pro style offense so he will know his protections according to the defensive alignments. Peat has been well-coached at Stanford and he’s one of the most pro-ready offensive linemen in the 2015 draft.
