Ben Moffitt LB
South Florida
STRENGTHS
Ben is an excellent LB who has the size, speed and skills to
play all three LB positions.
He is a head up, wrap up, squeeze and drive tackler
who shows excellent leadership skills.
Ben makes the players around him better.
He demonstrates a very good burst to the ball and
understands how to use angles.
Ben shows clarity in situational football as well as
the instincts and intelligence at the LB position to be a
coach on the field.
He has the potential to be a Pro Bowl LB for the team
that drafts him along with being a core player and fan
favorite. I
call him Ben (The Bear) Moffitt because once he gets the
scent of what the offense is doing, he is all over it like a
bear on honey.
NEEDS TO IMPROVE
Ben might not improve his quickness and techniques in pass
coverage. Most
LBs coming out of college needs to improve in this area.
However, all of that is just nit picking because the
kid has the athletic ability, intelligence and work ethic to
improve in all phases of his game.
TALENT BOARD ROUND 1
Right now, Ben is flying under most team’s radars, but I
suspect by the time we get to the draft, Ben will be listed
as a top LB in this draft.
He is just a quality kid and has almost as much
athletic talent as AJ Hawk when he was drafted.
When Ben starts to work out for the scouts and GM’s
is when he will move up in this draft.
I think he has a chance to be listed as a top 15 pick
in this draft.
For me personally, I would not hesitate to list this kid in
my personal top ten.
Size, speed, character, leadership skills, good
tackling techniques, the ability to make the players around
him better…all of these traits are what you look for in a
football player when profiling them for the next level.
Ben has them all.
I dare anyone to tell me differently.
The key for Ben will be his workout numbers.
These numbers will dictate what round he will be
drafted in. But
no matter what his workout numbers actualize to be, this kid
is a hell of a LB.
The team that drafts him is going to get one of the
best in this draft no matter the round in which he’s taken.
Remember it’s not all about athletic talent, it’s how
well you play the game and in this draft, Ben is one of the
better ones.
Like I said before, I call him Ben (the Bear) Moffitt
because once he gets the scent….. he’s like a bear ripping
into a hive of honey!
