2018 NFL Draft: Key strengths and weaknesses for Logan Woodside

Strength: Pocket Mobility

Despite having the athleticism to hurt opposing defenses with his legs, Logan Woodside isn’t much of a runner. He had just 51 carries during the 2017 season, which was more a product of sacks than actual attempts to tuck the ball and pick up yardage.

One of the reasons Woodside is worth looking into, however, is the fact that he has excellent pocket mobility that enables him to extend plays.

Woodside recorded a more than commendable time of 4.79 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine. That was a solid mark, but it was his agility that truly impressed those who were in attendance.

Woodside ranked in the 78th percentile in the three-cone drill and the 83rd percentile in the 20-yard shuttle, which displays just how quick he is on his feet.

On film, Woodside utilizes his highly above-average speed to evade pass rushers and lengthen plays. This enables his receivers to have more time to get open and even simplifies the game for his offensive linemen, as they can fight longer knowing the quarterback isn’t easy to bring down.

Woodside could certainly stand to bulk up before he runs in the NFL, but whether he’s picking up extra yardage or simply extending a play, he’s quick enough to do so.
