Erik McCoy NFL Draft 2019: Scouting Report for New Orleans Saints' Pick

STRENGTHS

—Three-year starter and 2018 team captain who is battle-tested coming out of the SEC as a highly decorated center with some experience at guard.

—Power player with excellent strength at the point of attack to control or move defenders out of run gaps.

—Agile enough in short areas to handle quickness and uses his length (33") well to reach off his outside shoulder.

—Handles head-up nose tackles very well, has the power to absorb bull rushes and can sit down and anchor well against powerful pass-rushers.

—Technically sound base and a quick, impactful punch in pass protection.
