One of the more tricky aspects of preparing for the NFL Draft is projecting some prospects into the pros.
There are some players, and schools, where projection is relatively simple. They’re experienced in Pro Style concepts and the traits are pro-ready. But there are other players that involve more artistry than science, players where the projection isn’t as clear and questions need to be answered.
Mississippi State offensive tackle Charles Cross is one such player. He boasts many of the traits that get executives excited: He’s a fluid mover with long arms who rarely gave up pressure in the SEC.
