STRENGTHS
Kaleb is a strong, powerful offensive lineman. He has the size and length to play on the outside and the quickness out of his stance and strength to play on the inside. Kaleb is smart and has an excellent work ethic. He shows leadership qualities through his play on the field and an excellent work ethic on and off the field. Kaleb can move well enough to be effective at the next level if he works hard and takes what he learns in practice into the game. I don’t think that will be a problem once he gets into a pro system.
CONCERNS
Kaleb is tight in the hips and lacks the lateral flexibility and agility to play the tackle position but with a little more technique work he can compensate. Kaleb needs a lot of work with his hands, right now he catches pass rushes and doesn’t shock them and move them back off his body. If Kaleb doesn’t get the timing down and learn the hand usage techniques needed to play tackle, then moving him to one of the guard positions might be the answer. That being said, he still has to learn to finish his blocks and to keep his feet moving once he engages. Trust me when I say, Kaleb will be worth the time to develop.
TALENT BOARD ROUND 2.50
Kaleb’s lack of lateral flexibility will not stop him from becoming a solid offensive lineman, it just stops him from playing a certain position unless he becomes a student of the game and learns the techniques that will minimize his limitations. I can see him becoming an excellent Right Tackle but at same time, I can also see him become a pro bowl left guard too. Kaleb has tremendous potential and he reminds me a lot of the Bears Kyle Long who has played Right Tackle and Guard. It would not surprise me if Kaleb plays both until he finds the right position that he can impact at also. Like I stated before, Kaleb will be worth the time to develop and don’t be surprised if he is selected earlier than this talent grade suggest.
