PLAYER ANALYSIS
Well-built guard prospect who plays with good upper and lower body power, but is inconsistent as both a run blocker and in pass protection due to inconsistent knee bend and mirroring. The size and strength are NFL-caliber and he’s been able to help himself at Shrine game practices and his pro day. His issues in pass protection are more physical than technical so they will be difficult to correct long-term. Sutherland has some limitations and needs more work, but the traits could land him on an NFL roster in the future.
