Team captain and five-year starter who can best be described as tough, strong and reliable. A majority of Gray’s nearly 4,000 snaps came at left tackle, but he moved to guard in 2024 and proved he was more than capable. He has average size but good point-of-attack strength. He can generate movement during the sustain phase of the block and fits into all run-blocking schemes. The pass protection posture looks good and he’s generally accurate with his punch but displays surprisingly average reactive athleticism to mirror movement and recover when beaten. Gray has more work to do at guard, but his intelligence, strength and durability will make him a favorite of offensive line coaches.
Towering tackle with a tremendous wingspan. Christian-Lichtenhan does a pretty good job of maximizing his reach advantage with good hand placement and timing. He can outreach opponents but lacks the leverage and upper-body power to control or move opponents. He’s a decent athlete for his size but a lack of bend creates issues in redirecting and mirroring his opponents. Christian-Lichtenhan’s inconsistencies as a pass protector will make it tough for him to stick around as a pro tackle.
