Greg Little, Ole Miss

What’s Good: Lateral Movement, Size, Pass Blocking

What Ain’t Good: Use of Leverage, Play Strength, Hand Placement, Run Blocking

Greg Little was one of the top, if not the top, tackle prospect at the start of the 2018 college football season. Things have changed quite drastically. In the Ole Miss offense, he didn’t develop as well as people would’ve hoped to go along with his frame and A+ lateral movement.

Little stands at 6’5″ and 310 pounds and possesses good arm length at 35 1/4″. Because Little doesn’t play strong or with better use of his leverage, it’s impressive his pass blocking is so effective. His lateral movement and arm length allow him to win at the point of attack even if his hand placement isn’t great.

Little is unpolished, which is perfect for the Cowboys if they want to invest in a developmental tackle. He possesses necessary size and body strength to play at the next level but his technique needs to be polished. He hasn’t developed his instincts as a run blocker missing his assignments at the line and in the second level.

Marc Colombo changed the direction of the offensive line mid-season so if the Cowboys gave him the opportunity to polish the Ole Miss product, the Cowboys could have themselves a solid tackle for the future.
