Watching highlight films of Offensive Linemen might not be a terrifically productive use of time, but, this morning, I was thinking about potential summer surprises on our roster and one of the more obscure guys has to be ex-CFL all-star Guard Drew Desjarlais who is listed as our 2nd string LG behind Cole Strange. I thought I had looked for clips of him, but when I went back to double check I found the one included below and, while it doesn't prove anything, it does give a clear indication of why our guys were interested in Desjarlais. What I see is a guy who has a wide base, solid mechanics and decent athleticism, but his best trait would seem to be pure power in his core including what appears to be a Thor's hammer thunderous hand punch. In the film he serves up more pancakes in 4 minutes than an IHOP. He dominates.
He doesn't look like the biggest guy in the world, but, at first glance, I would call him a legitimate NFL prospect who I'm officially invested in watching. I see some Stephen Neal in his game.
We're in the doldrums of the off-season prior to camp, so take a look if you like and tell me what you see. If anyone else would like to nominate another relative unknown that'd be great.
