Blaine Sumner

School: Colorado Mines
Position: DT
Bio: Three-year starter awarded all-Conference honors the past two years. Senior totals included 32/6.5/.5 and three blocked kicks. Junior numbers included 33/7/4. Occasionally used as a lead blocker or short yardage ball carrier. Completed 52 repetitions of 225 pounds on the bench press during his Pro Day in March. Other weightlifting marks included 905 pounds on the squat and 625 pounds on the bench.
Positive: Powerful and underrated nose tackle prospect who shows a good degree of athleticism on the field. Bends his knees, plays with terrific pad level, and gets underneath opponents. Adequate first step off the snap, displays the ability to easily bull rush opponents off the ball, and collapses the pocket. Consistently doubled in the middle the line. Moves well on the field, fluid if asked to twist or stunt, and has the ability to get around blockers besides run over them. Rarely off his feet, shows the ability to change direction, and works hard.
Negative: Must develop more moves with his hands and use them better to protect himself. Struggles to regain balance off the initial block. More of a space eater in the middle rather than a defensive lineman who makes a lot of plays on the ball.
Analysis: Sumner is an impressive physical specimen and a great combination of power and athleticism. Always playing with good football technique, he has definite potential at the next level and should get looks by a 3-4 team in the late rounds.
