Overview
OverviewSullivan gets high marks for smarts and technical acumen, but he's not a top all-around center and might need time to develop into starting material. His lower body is strong enough but he's not powerful and will struggle with movement.

Analysis
AnalysisPositives: Prototype size for the position. ... Cerebral player who makes all the line calls. ... Recognizes the blitz and makes the adjustment efficiently. ... Durable; started the last 33 games for the Irish entering 2007, including 21 straight. ... Relies on technique. ... Has good foot quickness and an even better kick slide to mirror the defender. ... Not explosive with his hands, but is strong enough and has good hand placement. ... Adequate turn and anchor blocker. ... Good athleticism for the pull and trap. ... Can release quickly and has the agility to block on the move.
Negatives: May have peaked athletically. ... Not an elite athlete and relies on his technique and intelligence. ... Lacks the stout frame and massive strength to be more than an adequate drive blocker. ... Lacks the short-area burst to compensate if beaten initially off the snap. ... Needs to develop more consistency blocking the secondary target when pulling. ... May be a bit overrated.
