Taylor Moton

strengths

Broad shouldered frame with a wide base and thick bubble. Long arms and flexible coil to rely on his extension. Powerful upper body and aggressive hands to latch, steer and create movement as a run blocker. Secures down blocks and runs his feet at contact to drive defenders off the screen. Body has some fluidity to bend, reset and stay square. Able to hook defenders on the edge and seal outside lanes. Nice job on combo blocks to knock linemen off balance before advancing to the second level to take away the downhill linebacker. Comfortable on his feet in space. Assignment sound both on and off the field -- multiple Academic All-MAC honors in his career. Durable and reliable with a school-record 52 starts on his resume, primarily at right tackle, but also a full season inside at right guard -- voted a senior captain.

weaknesses

Waist-bender and frequently finds himself off balance with his shoulders lunged passed his feet. Forceful kickslide, making him susceptible to inside moves. Poor hand tactics and placement, inviting rushers into his frame -- got away with this in college because MAC rushers couldn't move him. Inconsistent base and needs to better use his lower body to angle block, relying too much on his upper half. Head ducker. No problem advancing to the second level, but needs to stay off the ground and be more consistent breaking down in space.
