From now until the 2024 NFL Draft, we will scout and create profiles for as many prospects as possible, examining their strengths, weaknesses, and what they can bring to an NFL franchise. These players could be potential top-10 picks, all the way down to Day 3 selections and priority undrafted free agents. Today, I’ll be profiling Rhode Island OT Lorenzo Thompson.

*Hula Bowl Measurements
THE GOOD
– Quick first step off the line of scrimmage
– Solid vertical and 45 sets in pass protection, gets good depth
– Uses his length well to land early punch
– Good latch strength
– Competitively tough, plays to the whistle and looks for extra work
– Quick feet to mirror and change direction
THE BAD
– A little light for tackle at the NFL level
– Arm length suggests a need to move inside to guard
– Plays with high pad level
– Feet get too narrow at times, limiting balance, play strength and change of direction
– Stops his feet when initiating contact run blocking
– Ends up on the ground a little too much
– Anchor falls apart when a defender gets to his chest in a bull rush
BIO
– Originally a three-star prospect out of Cicero North HS in Syracuse, N.
