Brandon Knight – Offensive Lineman – Indiana
The only picture I found I could use legally was him giving up a sack, yet it might be the perfect way to explain why I listed him as an offensive lineman and not a specific position. He played right tackle and guard for the Hoosiers, but he might be better suited as a center to be honest. I am not sure where his ideal spot is, but with some work could be an eventual depth player.
Knight can play multiple spots on the line and is smart enough to understand all of them. His footwork look really good at both tackle and guard and has good lateral movement along the line. He seems to process well and adjusts decent enough to be reliable. But his football IQ is reportedly his best trait.
Where he will struggle is finding a home. He isn’t strong enough to be a traditional guard, and he isn’t long enough to be a traditional tackle. If he could work on his strength or technique to get around lack of length he could be a solid backup in the NFL. He will be a work in progress, but his intelligence could land him on the practice squad. Center might be his best bet, and if he can work on it, maybe a long snapper in a season or two.
