“I don’t know what I see.”
Here are some selected quotes from Cooley’s film review:
“He looks very athletic on the field.”
“34-inch vertical leap at the Combine. That is pretty amazing for a dude that weighs 350 pounds.”
“I see him as a really adequate pass protector…Good hands, good punch. He is hard to get around. He gets his arms extended. He has good feet, does a good job keeping his feet square at the line of scrimmage.”
“He has great range as a puller. He is explosive; he can run.”
“He played a lot of guard at the Senior Bowl. So many have projected him as a guard…Good thing is he can do both in a pinch (guard and tackle).”
“I think he plays high, really upright, tall. He has a tendency to bend at the waist. I think this is where he gets in the most trouble. It hurts him with his change of direction.”
“He is a position blocker in the run game. He is not a physical run-game blocker. He is not Trent Williams. He is going to try to get in, get his hands on you, and get his ___ where he doesn’t want the defender to go. He is going to try to quick and turn. I hate that.”
“He stops his feet on contact; he is not a physical power-driving guy…and he gets beat a lot in the run game.”
“I’d like to see him do a better job of finishing blocks…I’m concerned about his ability to sustain blocks, especially in space.”
“So, Coleman is a project.”
“He’s an athlete. He has a ton of innate athletic ability. He is a very good understanding of how to pass protect. But in terms of being an every down, get-it-done type of guy, there are going to be a lot of positions they put him in, and he is going to struggle.”
“You can’t put him at left tackle and run behind him. That is not a thing that is going to happen…I think he has some situations he has to improve in quite a bit.”
