Prince Tega Wanogho presents risk, but upside in 2020 NFL Draft

Wanogho’s weaknesses

Watching Wanogho, it is evident that he has only been playing along the offensive line for four years as a redshirt senior; he is raw with his mechanics, but the upside with the Auburn tackle is tremendous. He flashes on film one play, then looks sloppy with his technique on the next; consistency is a massive concern when discussing Wanogho.

Listed at 6-7 and 307 pounds, Wanogho has a tremendous amount of athleticism for a man his side, however he struggles to use his massive length to his advantage. He can be a bit top-heavy at times, reaching towards defenders; this allows for him to be moved off the point of attack relatively easily. Looking at the Alabama game, Terrell Lewis and Anfernee Jennings were able to get around the edge early and often.

Hand placement is also another concern when looking at Wanogho’s tape, as he tends to struggle to get his hands inside the numbers of defenders, taking away leverage from his anchor. Wanogho also takes a shallow first step in pass protection, putting himself in compromising position right off the snap.

Overall, however, Wanogho is a big ball of clay that one NFL team will fall in love with his athleticism and upside, and hope that their offensive line coach can mold him into a star at the next level.
