86866, Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl: Boston College vs. Nevada Posted by will_5198, Wed Jan-19-11 06:03 PM
OT Anthony Castonzo, Boston College (6'7, 308) -- The left tackle class being so mediocre this season, I figured I'd watch this guy again. Maybe I missed something. I mean, smarter people than myself think he's a first rounder.
So I watch. First play on offense -- a run -- he gets thrown to the ground by Nevada's 250-pound defensive end. Second play -- a pass -- he gets beat inside, falls down, and is called for a chop block due to ankle-grabbing while the guard cleans up his mess. At this point I finished watching.
OLB Mark Herzlich, Boston College (6'4, 244) -- Great comeback story. Great prospect? Not so much. Hardly a pass rusher, so 3-4 outside linebacker seems a stretch. Inside, he can have some trouble breaking down to tackle -- doesn't bend his knees well. While not an explosive athlete, he does look better in pursuit and zone coverage. Probably will get a look in the mid to late rounds; one of those guys who forces his way onto a roster somehow.
