He came to the U.S. from Haiti in 2002 and  that was his first exposure to playing the game of football.  He is very  athletic for his size with foot quickness, agility and body control but  due to his limited experience he often takes poor angles and is not  always very quick to recognize stunts and twists by the defensive front.   When he has no doubt as to what he is supposed to do, Ducasse looks  dominating and powerful.  While he is not apt to be an instant impact  player, Ducasse has a chance to become a quality starter due to his  size, power and athleticism.<\/p>\n<h2>Strengths<\/h2>\n<div>Ducasse has a really nice combination of size, natural power and  foot agility for an offensive lineman.  Exhibits good initial quickness  exploding out of his stance in the running game and getting set in pass  protection.  Plays with really nice leverage.<\/div>\n<h2>Weaknesses<\/h2>\n<div>Originally from Haiti, Ducasse has a limited football background.   Does not possess adequate instincts at this time and can be caught  thinking on the move.  Must do a better job of finishing his blocks and  driving until the whistle.  Needs to work on taking better blocking  angles.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the 2nd round of the NFL draft the New York Jets selected Vlad Ducasse an offensive tackle from Massachusetts.\u00a0 He stands at 6&#8217;4&#8243;, weighs 332 lbs and can also play guard.
