STRENGTHS: Displays above-average knee bend and hip flexibility in his pass sets…adequate quickness out of his stance…stays controlled mid-slide to reach proper depth…active punch and is constantly working to reposition his hands once inside the defender…his eyes stay vigilant and his veteran experience is easy to spot…pairs his wide base with solid thickness in his rear and legs…physical run blocker and flashes drive power…played in every game the last three seasons (over 2,000 career snaps), including 26 straight starts…has functional experience at both left and right tackle and has spent a lot of time practicing at center.
WEAKNESSES: Plays with lower-body bend, but his frenetic, overeager style makes balance a constant issue…lacks ideal height/length for edge work…his functional strength needs help…his wide hands spend too much time searching instead of controlling…has the bad habit of grabbing jersey while working to get his feet into position…combined for 13 penalties the last two seasons, although only one came in 2020…moves well on pulls and perimeter blocks, but needs to be more efficient on combinations…needs to improve his sustain skills to finish run blocks…will be graded as a guard or center for most NFL teams but lacks starting experience at either position.
SUMMARY: A three-year starter at Colorado, Sherman manned the left tackle position in offensive coordinator Darrin Chiaverini’s offense. After earning All-Pac 12 honors as a freshman left tackle, he moved to right tackle in 2019 before returning to the left side in 2020, where he looked much more comfortable (learned under three different offensive line coaches over the past three seasons). Sherman is an active player with trained eyes and movements, but his footwork and balance after contact need continued work. His lack of core strength and control at the point of attack will be tougher to mask at the NFL level. Overall, Sherman has workable traits with his lower-body flexibility and awareness, but his balance issues and wandering hands must improve for him to earn steady work in the NFL. He is a tackle-to-guard projection with some upside at center.
