Jake Hanson | Center | Oregon | 6'4" - 303 lbs.


Overview
Four-year starter who has the ability to assimilate into a variety of schemes but is unlikely to stand out in any particular one. His strong, accurate hands and determined effort are his calling cards and he's been able to hang in against a series of big, talented interior linemen over the years. He lacks power and mass, which could hurt his chances with teams who play against odd-front defenses, but he's a steady performer who could offer late-round value as a backup.

Strengths
  • Durable four-year starterHard worker with a non-stop engine
    Plays with poise and confidence against bigger men
    Quick, upward strike hits the bullseye with initial punch
    Strong hand grip promotes added stickiness against late shed attempts
    Works well with guards in double teams
    Adequate movement talent to fit into zone scheme
    Has footwork and balance to sustain move blocks
    Uses hip/ankle flexion to sink and slow pocket push


Weaknesses
  • Lacks desired density and natural girth in lower bodyDespite his technique, will struggle to stalemate forceful two-gappers
    Needs help to create movement at point of attacks
    Snap to step quickness just average
    Could struggle to keep upfield rushers out of the A-gap off the snap
    Snap consistency has plagued him
    Too many ground-ball snaps in 2018 and pop flies in 2019
