Kyle Kalis (Athlon Consensus #45)

The Analysis

PROS:This is a big, powerful blocker who can overpower his opponent with brute force, strength and killer instinct. His attitude and desire to finish blocks will make up for some of his deficiencies. He is an excellent run blocker who will cave-in the line and work through to the next level consistently. He displays quality technique and coach-ability. He has the size to play tackle and the effort to succeed at any position.

CONS:The only weakness in Kalis' game might be his overall athletic ability. Pure speed edge rushers might be too quick for him to handle on the outside. This problem could be fixed with a move inside to guard. His overall lower body fluidity could be the only real issue with his talents.

BIO:Was originally committed to Ohio State but decommitted after Jim Tressel was forced to resign.
