Powers-Johnson’s Scouting Report

Strengths

• Sports a strong, dense, and well-leveraged frame with great mass.
• Quick accelerator both laterally and vertically.
• Nimble, lateral mobility, and stellar range.
• Elite power producer with a penchant for shocking attack punches and destruction.
• Can load overwhelming, explosive torque into his punches, which sends linemen lurching.
• Very proficient at loading his base into contact engagements and power exertions.
• Ability to exert menacing amounts of torque while latched and nullifying stunting rushers.
• Combined anchor and grip strength allow him to control blocks when properly latched.
• Possesses the flexibility to adjust angles in recovery and swivel around interior blocks.
• Possesses hand precision to target and nullify extensions while keeping his base.
• Has shown he can drag his outside hand before tightening to absorb power rushes.
• Able to roll his base back in phase and anchor against power, which limits displacement.
• Alert help blocker with active eyes, who consistently and patiently survey the front.
• Has the awareness to maintain discipline with positioning and depth against loopers.
• Recoils quickly at contact and stacks run blocks with effusive urgency and tenacity.
• Mauling presence in space with elite competitive physicality and finishing ability.

Weaknesses

• Length appears to be average at best, which can impact Powers-Johnson’s blocking range.
• Length limitations naturally make it more difficult to sustain anchors against longer defensive linemen.
• Sometimes plays a bit too upright when blocking laterally on zone runs.
• Occasionally comes off the snap without proper leverage, exposing himself to power.
• Sometimes lifts his feet out from under him when exerting power, losing balance.
• Doesn’t always have the elite flexibility to hinge around the front side of run plays.
• Sometimes prematurely flows to one side as a helper, which exposes opposite gaps.
• Sometimes slows his feet and plants his base too early in pass-protection reps.
• Can be late to decouple from combo blocks and shift to adjacent gaps.
• Adaptable with blocking angles on zone runs, but occasionally overshoots his path.
• Sometimes loosens his technique too much when traversing the line to help.
