OT/OG:

Matt Patchan, OT/OG, Boston College, Senior:

Measurables: 6' 6.2", 302 pounds, 33" arm length, 9 3/8" hands

Bench: 22 reps (lower than I like)

40 time: Low: 4.84, High: 4.90, Official: 4.97, 10 yrd split: 1.59 secs (fastest among the OL group)

Jumps: 32" vert

Background: Played 11 games as a freshman along the DL. He has an extensive injury list: Oct. 2009 ACL tear that made him miss all of 2010 as well; back injury that made him miss Florida's bowl game vs Ohio State in 2011; and he missed all of 2012 due to a pectoral injury that he got during summer camp. However, in 2013, he managed to start in all 12 games for the Golden Eagles after transferring from Florida. Former top 20 college recruit who had an up and down college career due to injury.

Positives: Patchan was a very good run blocker for BC and helped the Eagles average 218.1 yards a game on the ground. He has a strong punch that he uses regularly to drive defenders out of the hole and stone pass rushers; he plays with controlled aggression and finishes his blocks well. He is patient in his pass blocking sets and doesn't panic when a defender gets under his pads, he is able to re-anchor consistently. His speed and athleticism is on display whenever he is run blocking or releasing for a screen play; he does a good job at getting to the second level and could be moved inside to OG and fill in for either tackle position. He's pretty good at dealing with speed rushers due to his patience and athleticism.

Negatives: His injury history is a big knock on him; he hasn't been able to stay healthy until last season when he played at BC. Patchan also needs to add more strength because he can get driven back by bull rushers when he lets his pad level get too high in pass protection. He needs to improve his knee bend and be more consistent with keeping his pad level down. His lack of arm length can also hurt him on the outside, he may need to consider a move inside.

Overview: Patchan is a good player who needs to add more bulk and power to his frame in order to withstand the power rushers and rigors of the NFL. If he can remain healthy, I believe that he has a bright future ahead of him.

He is #77, LT.
