HoosierCat Posted April 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Overview Durable four-year starter at tackle who might be asked to prove himself as an interior blocker on the next level. Adeniji understands and displays technique, but it tends to get sloppy when his footwork gets him behind in the rep. He was an imperfect fit in Kansas' move-oriented running game, but could compete for a roster spot in a man blocking scheme where he should be able to play with better control, consistency and push at the point of attack. His experience at tackle boosts his pass pro credentials if he's moved inside. Strengths Has attributes and traits to slide inside (has snapped in practice) Grip strength to stay connected to blocks when feet are right Lands hands with good accuracy for improved leverage Looks comfortable when he gets to fire out as drive blocker Rolls hips under hands at point of attack Lower leg drive can generate movement It's clear that technique has been taught and learned Widens out with good balance in pass sets Keeps chin tucked and head back at the punch Change of direction against rush counters should be adequate at guard Weaknesses Labors somewhat getting out of his stance Footwork gets sloppy at times Needs to tighten up settle steps to prevent being knocked off-balance Can't get to most backside cut-offs as a tackle Below-average athletic ability to block and adjust in space Has issues maintaining body control through engagement Gets caught up in "slide, slide, slide, lunge" at the top of rush May not possess foot quickness to run rushers up and around the arc as a tackle Doesn't display enough recovery athleticism in pass pro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 an OL, but not the right one https://www.nfl.com/prospects/hakeem-adeniji?id=32194144-4545-1329-dcd7-27e4940351c6 https://thedraftnetwork.com/player/hakeem-adeniji/hS6ZHDPiqA https://throughthephog.com/2020/04/01/kansas-football-hakeem-adeniji-projected-fourth-round/ can't hate, but can't like either my best guess here is that since he played 4 years at OLT in college, and they really dont have a solid backup for Jonah, he can compete for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraith Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Clearly they are esquewing injury risks in favor of less capable but reliable options. Muti is a far better prospect, perfect fit for the Bengals biggest weakness but i think that last year's experience has led them to taking injury risks off their board, guys like Tega or Muti are not evaluated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 He's yet another team captain. Another really quality teammate and someone who will do what he is supposed to in a summer without the usual off-season team workouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 All-conference all 4 years at Kansas. Once again, our staff coached him at the Senior Bowl so they got to know him there. You know what? I’m growing to really dislike Marvin Lewis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 I like the pick. Many agreed that due to all the visits being canceled that having coached the senior bowl was going to pay dividends. Well here’s a prime case of that in the late rounds in a position of need. No complaints here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
