Summary:

Wisconsin has been a factory for producing NFL offensive linemen, and Joe Tippmann is hoping to state his claim as the next. He is more of a power/gap scheme blocker who needs to do a better job of moving his feet when engaed. Tippman spends a lot of time on the ground but does have active eyes and does a great job of absorbing contact.

Strengths:

  • Does a great job of absorbing contact
  • Does a good job of working angles and sealing run lanes
  • Active eyes to pick up blitzes

Weaknesses:

  • Below-average later agility
  • Spends a lot of time on the ground
  • Needs to do a better job of moving his feet to stay engaged
