John Moffitt
Height: 6’5″
Weight: 323 lbs.
College: Wisconsin
Conference: Big 10
Overview: Moffitt was an integral part of a dominant offensive line for the Badgers in 2010. He looks the part of an NFL guard with a great frame and a thick lower half. He displays very good football intelligence and understands blocking schemes. However, he lacks the strength and overall athleticism to be effective at the next level against faster and stronger athletes. He loses leverage off the line and struggles to generate a good push at the point of attack. Moffitt also lacks a killer instinct and sometimes looks defeated on film in tough games. Despite these concerns, Moffitt has a great frame and potential to develop and he should get his name called in the later rounds.
Noteworthy: Moffitt started at left guard in all 13 games in 2010 and was named an AP first-team All-American and a consensus first-team All-Big 10. He also received the Wayne Souza Coaches Appreciation Award on offense. In 2009, Moffitt was named first-team All-Big 10 by coaches and media. Played in 11 games, starting 10 in 2009 and started all 13 games at center in 2008.
