OG - Andy Alleman - 6040, 305, 5.07 Akron
Akron may be the most athletic guard in the country. Alleman is very explosive off the line of scrimmage and he is as tough as they come. Possessing very good quickness and balance, Alleman sets up well and can move laterally and redirect in pass protection. He positions well and is very effective zone blocking. Plays with a mean streak. Gets good movement and can really push the pile in the run game. Pulls and can get to the second level very well. A terrific, aggressive athletic with good strength and great stamina. He plays as good in the 4th quarter as he does in the 1st quarter.
A little raw. He might need to add a little weight but can play in any blocking system. His best days are ahead of him and do not forget he was a defensive end at Pitt before he transferred to Akron and has played offensive guard for only 2 seasons. He is an under-hyped guy who people are missing the boat on. After the combine and the workout Friday, Alleman could be the No. 1 guard in the country He had the best 10 yard run - 1.71, best broad jump, and best vertical of the top 10 guards, in the bench press (30 repetitions of 225 pounds), broad jump (8-feet-10), pro agility short shuttle (4.38 seconds) and three-cone ``L'' drill (7.44 seconds), which also is the fastest time in the country for an offensive lineman. according to Combine information. Throw the 40 times out the window because offensive linemen played in the box (within 10 yards from their position). Now i am happy. |
