Strengths
Positives: Potentially dominant drive blocker. ... Massive man who can engulf his opponent, turn him away from the ballcarrier and pancake him to the ground. ... Looks to intimidate. ... Only adequate initial quickness off the snap, but has a deep kick-slide and the long arms to keep the pass rusher at bay. ... Natural knee bender who plays with impressive leverage and balance for a man of his size. ... Better lateral quickness than initial. Negatives: Bit of a "tweener." ... Too often beaten off the snap by defensive ends to remain at left tackle and might even have to be moved inside -- where his height would be a liability. ... Marginal lateral quickness to recover when he is beaten initially. ... As dominant as he is with his initial surge as a drive blocker, Loadholt too often relies on his size to engulf his opponent, failing to sustain his blocks as effectively as he should.
