Freeman OLB Ohio State #1 |
| Ht:
6'1
Wt: 235
| |
| Strengths: |
| Elite athlete. Very strong. Reliable
tackler. Above average speed. The type of player that is all over the field making
plays. Very good in coverage for a linebacker. Tough player; willing to play through
pain. |
| Weaknesses: |
| Undersized. Lacks the height or the
bulk to really stand out. Can be taken out of plays by bigger, stronger offensive
linemen. Not a great pass rusher due to his lack of size. Durability is a serious
concern; missed all of 2005 with a knee injury, was slowed by ankle and knee injuries
in 2007 and 2008 but did not miss any time. |
| Comments:
|
| Freeman isn't a workout
warrior that will rise up the charts during the offseason, but he is a very reliable
linebacker. He does everything well on the field, even if he doesn't stand out
in any one area. He would be a very safe second round pick for a team looking
for someone to contribute right away. |
