Elijah Teague:
Strengths:
· Strength. Already possesses Division-I strength. Hard to move, takes the battle to the offensive lineman
· Active Hands. Extremely excelled for a high schooler on the use of his hands in both run and pass rush situations. A variety of moves are in his toolbox
· For a man of his size, he is quite quick and moves very well
· Keeps his “eyes on the prize”. What I mean by that is, whether he is engaged against the run or in a pass rush scenario, he is able to identify where the running back/quarterback is, not allowing them to get by him. Teague will shed the block, and come flat down the line to make the play
Weaknesses:
· Leverage. Because I feel like I have to put something here, I’ll say his leverage gets to be too high at times. When double teamed, he needs to learn to go through the hips of a double team and not the shoulders
To be rather simple with it all, Teague is a beast. One of the more impressive films from the class that I’ve looked at so far. Tough to find many weaknesses with his game. Elijah is strong, quick, and looks to understand blocking schemes and where he fits. Already uses his hands in an impressive fashion. Should see playing time from Day One
