Landon Dickerson

Dickerson's a big bully on the interior of the O-Line that loves mixing it up in the run game. He's a decent athlete. Able to get up and out of his stance and move laterally well. Doesn't have the athleticism to get up and jump multiple gaps at the LOS or pull, but certainly has enough athleticism to be a reliable asset. Smart player and able to handle stunts and loops well. Solid anchor underneath him. With his size, he's very difficult to move backwards via bull rush or otherwise. Good hand technique and packs a punch when he wants to. Tends to try and rely on just getting his hands on a defender, which is a disadvantage for players that have a longer reach than him. Could struggle against lengthy DTs that can get underneath and extend to walk him back. Also struggles with balance from time to time and dealing with shiftier defensive lineman. Is not the most agile player on the field and can get caught whiffing on players in pass protection if they're able to move well laterally. Mauler in the run game though. Excels in being able to wall off defenders and create wide open running lanes. Loves engaging in contact and finishing. Struggles a bit in pass protection due to length and lateral quickness concerns, as mentioned before. Tough player though and that's proven by his dressing for the National Championship after being forced to miss the game with injury. Injuries are a concern for him, but he'll be a perfect fit on a roster that's committed to running the ball and driving defenders backwards with size and power.
