Monroe Freeling Strengths
Freeling has a great frame for an NFL offensive tackle. He stands at 6-foot-7 and 315 pounds, which is solid for his position, even if he can fill his frame out a bit more. Freeling also has long arms that measure just under 35 inches and big hands (10 3/4 inches), giving him great tools to work with. His length and hand size can help him sustain his blocks.
For his size, Freeling is a great athlete for an NFL offensive tackle. He gets out of his stance quickly and smoothly, which gives him a leg up on his matchup. Freeling is able to get to the second level as a run blocker and can play in space, although controlling those second-level matchups is still a work in progress. He has great agility and is able to mirror pass rushers well.
He has specific potential as a pass blocker at the next level. Freeling has shown the ability to mirror pass rushers with good agility. He is flexible and has length, which helps him with bendy edge rushers. His ability to anchor is decent as well. Freeling’s measurables and movement ability give him a high ceiling as a pass protector.
Monroe Freeling Weaknesses
Freeling needs to fill out his frame a bit more for the next level. At 315 pounds, Freeling has a good start to his frame, but he can add play strength to really improve his game. This will help him anchor better as a pass protector, but also sustain and move defenders as a run blocker.
His hand usage is pretty raw and an area that the one-year starter needs to work on. He needs to get his hands up quicker to help slow defenders. If he can fire his hands quicker, it will help him early in the rep. Freeling also needs to make sure his hands are inside to help control his matchup. They can get too wide, which could lead to holding calls and some losses as a pass blocker. He has big, powerful hands, but better placement and timing can really help him improve.
He needs to have better technique and trust it, because he can get off balance a lot more than he should. Freeling has movement abilities, but he still lunges too much. Freeling is still learning the position as a one-year starter and more reps should help him keep a more consistent base and trust it.
