Player Summary:
LT starter. Transfer from LSU. Great size and excellent frame. His thick upper and lower body, has room to grow in his legs and chest, with great arm length. Looks very athletic from the point of the film view. Would like to see in person to see his ankles. Average as both a run blocker and pass protector, largely due to hand use; if he improves use of his hands, his upside could be tremendous. As a run blocker, he is average. Can fire forward to the 2nd level and be a mauler when he wants to be. Can cover up defenders with his sheer mass. Good and effective when blocking nose-to-nose and generally plays with good leverage. The key issue is hand placement; struggles to latch onto second-level defenders and often takes poor angles to get there. Struggles to encircle defenders at the corner and will frequently let them cross his face and gain inside leverage. As a pass protector, he is average. Very good when he is able to play long and use his arm’s length to get an initial punch on pass-rushing DEs. Good at mirroring and has a good lateral shuffle when dropping back. Hand use again is the key issue; struggles to latch and neutralize defenders. Will lunge in his posture and bend at the waist instead of sinking his weight and sitting on a stool. Has a good chance if he improves his hand placement/technique.
Scheme Fit:
OT.
Power Statement:
If Cameron improves his hand use and latching ability, he could shoot up draft boards. He has plenty of upside with his size, length, and frame to be a draftable prospect.
