Possesses a longer, leaner frame with a little bubble to his lower half and good length. Has the ability to continue to fill out and get bigger. Needs some time as a prospect. Is really raw with his footwork, stands a bit upright into his stance, -plays only from a two point stance- and doesn't showcases any resemblance of a kick slide toward the edge. Looks content to simply slide shuffle to the corner and get narrow with his footwork, almost banging his feet together into the process. However, is a natural athlete with good range off the edge and can bend at the knees and keep his base down when trying to slide but lacks ideal anchor strength on contact because he will get upright on his punch. However, he can sink his hips and when he does stay low he extends his arms well demonstrating the ability to be a solid anchor player. Will also get stronger with time and play with better leverage as he learns the position. Is a long armed kid who can gain leverage as well. Nevertheless, too often keeps his hands down by his waist in pass protection and isn't real compact into contact. Generates some pop at the point, but this is an area he will improve with further development. Takes good angles into contact, is a patient kid who doesn't get caught lunging into contact much and showcase natural change of direction skill/fluidity when trying to re-direct off a counter and mirror laterally.

Possesses "plus" short area quickness off the snap in the run game, but again struggles with pad level into contact. Too often fails to generate any kind of leverage when trying to create a push and will fall off blocks quickly. Is at his best as a move guy when asked to get into blocks quickly, extend and seal on contact. Looks quick/coordinated on reach and slid down blocks as well. Routinely is able to stay engaged through contact on the move and get his feet around defenders in order to seal. Isn't overly heavy handed however, but that should improve as well, as he becomes more offensive tackle than athlete.

Impression: Has an intriguing skill set and the frame to get bigger. His body type says offensive tackle in the NFL to me and not guard. But he needs to physically get a bit bigger to play either spot. Looks like a higher upside/developmental guy who could be worth a mid round pick and if he's willing to put in the time could mature into a possible starter.

That's hilarious because if you go to youtube & put his name in you get the king of soul or Jim Brown.

He's not real big but watch that footwork. Guy is a born LT.

2012 NFL Undrafted Free Agents | NEPatriotsDraft.com - 2012 NFL Draft

Active, highly productive, high-motor three-technique who racked up linebacker-like tackle production, including 36 stops behind the line, in two seasons at ODU. Disruptive and instinctive — quick off the snap to knife gaps. Locates the ball, chases hard and ranges, showing nice balance and athleticism. Marginal competition. Needs to play with more consistent pad level, get stronger and incorporate more power into his game. Outstanding personal and football character — very intelligent and mature and is well-respected by teammates and coaches for his leadership and work habits. Ordinary measurables hurt his draft stock, but he is a better football player than tester, as his combination of impressive tape, production and intangibles will make him a coveted free agent if he is not drafted. Type you root for who will be successful no matter what he does in life.

Video of the kid. Looks pretty good.

Have any of these players signed with the Bears by chance? I can't seem to tell based on what I'm reading in this thread whether Cameron and Brown have signed with the Bears.

He feels good, too. And maybe, just maybe, he'll be a good offensive lineman.
