THE GOOD
— Massive tackle with a wide frame
— 34 1/2-inch arms with the strength to control edge rushers
— Picks up stunts quickly and helps other lineman in pass protection
— Has a mean streak and plays with full effort every down
— Developing his run-blocking skills, learning how to create lanes and take angles
— Decent mirroring ability and is comfortable pass blocking on an island
— Gets to the second level quickly and looks for work
— Has shown flashes of hand usage and an impressive snatch trap move
— Younger prospect who’s only 21 with a clear path for development
— Experience playing right and left tackle
— His punches carry pop and can knock defenders backwards
— Moves defenders in goal-line situations
The Bad
— Stands too upright and needs to bend at the knees
— His steps are short on his drop back, allowing defenders to gain ground
— Still missing in run defense and will need time to improve
— Raw second-level blocker who is lacking the instincts to pick up defenders in open space
— He occasionally losses leverage, which will lose him the rep
— Limited number of college snaps; most analysts expected Kingsley to return to BYU
— He can move his pad level too quick
— Times on tape where he loses balance when in space
