2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board

[hagan714]

Levine Toilolo 6'8, 265, 4.82 Stanford

very good work ethic
No known background issues or run-ins with the law.
Has excellent height and good bulk which make him a match-up nightmare,

First and foremost his inline blocking is elite
He gets off the ball quickly and playing with good pad level.
good initial pop to create running lanes.
Finishes his blocks well and works to the second level.
Head always on a swivel in pass protection, and his long arms allow him to interfere with speed rushers around the outside,

Has excellent ball skills and soft hands,
good red zone target who goes up and gets the ball.
Uses his bulk to shield the football
won't run away from many people, arm tackles will not bring him down.
wide wingspan and height.

Negatives
2010 season with an ACL tear in his right knee
Doesn't have the elite speed to run away from people
isn't explosive getting off the snap when running routes.
Still working to get his route running and pass catching instincts

Conclusion

His blocking is just elite. Now we need a TE that can block and be a solid receiver in the passing game that is tall enough for Drew to see

now we can talk ceiling in day 3 of the draft
