ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS Has tremendous bounce to climb the ladder and snatch the pass at its high point. Has excellent balance and body control to make the circus catch. Plays faster than his timed speed and has decent short area quickness. Well-liked by coaching staff and considered a good teammate. Showed ability to get some separation during Shrine Game practices.

WEAKNESSES Rail-thin frame. Missed 2014 season after being suspended for academic purposes and elements of his game fell off in 2015. No such things as easy catches. Able to make the circus catch, but struggled badly with focus drops. Average long speed and getting deep on double moves and through play­-action.

DRAFT PROJECTION Rounds 6 or 7

BOTTOM LINE Tall, but rail thin with a 2015 season that featured Anderson's ability to make the incredible catch sandwiched with way too many drops. His separation quickness and overall speed doesn't jump off the tape, so he needs an impressive combine.

ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Cinder block of power and toughness. Commands the locker room and was named a team captain for three straight years. Possesses impressive upper body power to jolt blitzers trying to sneak the A­-gap on him. Uses wide, balanced base in pass sets and can anchor down against power. Has recorded 46 bench reps in off­season program. Athletic and able to get out and find targets to hit in screen game. Has feet for reach blocks. Combos up to second block with timing and fluidity.
WEAKNESSES Squatty with extremely short arms. Has feet for early advantage as run blocker, but lack of length prevents securing blocks against more talented opponents. Is a one position only player on next level. Gets caught leaning and can be whipped by good arm­-over.
DRAFT PROJECTION Rounds 6 or 7
NFL COMPARISON A.Q. Shipley
BOTTOM LINE Friend's leadership and toughness are necessary traits for the center spot and his power creates some "wow" moments on tape. Friend has a shot to make a roster due to his body control and strength, but he lacks traits to fall back on if he can’t win with power against bigger competition.
