OT - Tulane Green Wave 🌊
Derrick Graham- @DerrickGraham0
6-4/314
Scouting Report:
Versatile and technically sound offensive tackle who anchored the left side for Tulane after transfers from Texas A&M and Troy. Excelled in pass protection with solid run blocking and a high football IQ in spread-to-run schemes.
Strengths
- Sound pass protection fundamentals:
- Quick feet and excellent mirror ability allow him to stay square to edge rushers. Uses active, powerful hands to punch, redirect, and control with precision while rarely allowing pressures.
- Functional strength and anchor:
- Plays with good leverage, balance, and core power to handle bull rushes and maintain his ground against both power and speed rushers in the run and pass game.
- High football IQ and experience:
- Multi-year starter with extensive reps at left tackle. Quick to diagnose stunts and blitzes, communicates effectively pre-snap, and provides veteran leadership on the offensive line.
- Athleticism and length for the position:
- Solid movement skills and bend for a 6-4, 314-pound tackle. Uses long arms to keep defenders at bay and recovers well when initially beaten.
- Competitive toughness and run blocking:
- Plays with a nasty streak and high effort. Improved drive blocking and ability to sustain blocks downfield, contributing to a productive Tulane offense.
Scouts praise his combination of technical refinement, starting production, durability, and high-floor traits as a reliable UDFA offensive lineman who can compete for depth/backup roles immediately while developing into a potential starter with continued strength gains. Immediate impact player on special teams and the offensive line.
