The most obvious aspect of Christensen’s game is his footwork and mobility. Given his slender build, a frame where he could bulk up and add more weight if necessary, Christensen does not struggle to get to the boundary and does not have a problem working to the second level of the defense as a run blocker either.
As NFL teams are looking for mobile offensive linemen who could navigate space, at the end of the day, Christensen is a solid prospect to take a flier on and mold. The fundamentals of his pass set also provide another building block to Christensen’s game, especially in the pass-heavy nature of the NFL.
As far as his play strength and anchor are concerned, Christiansen plays with about average strength, but again shows room to add on some muscle and shed some potentially bad weight as he looks to move to the next level. There are a ton of solid aspects of Christensen’s game to appreciate should he decide to take the next leap.
