He has good upper-body power to shock and plays with a mauler&#8217;s demeanor when battling and finishing. Lateral quickness is below average in the run game and his pad level needs to be corrected for a move inside. He&#8217;s not a slick move-and-mirror pass protector, but length and redirect power are weapons to work with if he can get his footwork and punch-timing shored up. He had outstanding moments against Clemson but didn&#8217;t sustain that level of play throughout the season. The flashes are there but he needs to play with better consistency to make a mark.<\/p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1gop3tj\">\n<div class=\"css-1wj3k56\">\n<div class=\"css-10uff6p\"><strong>Strengths<\/strong><\/div>\n<ul class=\"css-vqnwa6\">\n<li class=\"css-1an5ojz\">Two-year captain and three-year starter<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1an5ojz\">Broad frame, long arms and big hands<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1an5ojz\">Impressive pushing Clemson around at point of attack<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1an5ojz\">Twitchy upper body with plenty of pop and strength<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1an5ojz\">Ability to turn and secure man-on-man blocks<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1an5ojz\">Quality effort level to recover in second phase<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1an5ojz\">Filthy demeanor as block finisher in run game<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1an5ojz\">Tackle experience and traits a plus inside<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1an5ojz\">Punch should become more stout and consistent with work<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1gop3tj\">\n<div class=\"css-1wj3k56\">\n<div class=\"css-10uff6p\"><strong>Weaknesses<\/strong><\/div>\n<ul class=\"css-vqnwa6\">\n<li class=\"css-1an5ojz\">Ran penalty total too high in 2019<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1an5ojz\">Below average quickness laterally and on pulls<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1an5ojz\">Needs to play with much better pad level as drive blocker<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1an5ojz\">Inconsistent anticipation of block angles<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1an5ojz\">Feet lag behind, leading to some block slippage in sustain<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1an5ojz\">Needs to vary his punch approach<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1an5ojz\">Redirect steps are a little tardy<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1an5ojz\">Allowed leakage from post on counters and from B-gap rushers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Jets finished up a very busy 4th round of the NFL draft by selecting Cameron Clark, an offensive tackle from Charlotte.
