Miami OT Ereck Flowers said he had a good meeting with the Panthers, thinks he impressed them with his football IQ on the board

Football IQ is a bigger deal for OL than a lot of folks realize.

He's killing the combine:

"Flowers set the bar for offensive linemen at the combine in the bench press testing. Flowers, who measured in at 6-foot-6 and 329 pounds, bench-pressed 225 pounds 37 times. Making his feat slightly more impressive: he did it with arms that measured 34 1/2 inches long. Only seven of the 53 offensive linemen at the combine had lengthier limbs. Flowers moved that weight a greater distance than most.

In the 40-yard dash testing Friday, Flowers ran a 10-yard split — the key number for offensive linemen — in 1.78 seconds. Only three offensive linemen were quicker, each of them smaller and lighter."

Long arms and football IQ...

Yeah, Flowers is probably driving himself too far up the draft board for us to have a chance at him.

 

I think we're going to meet with a TON of OTs.  I HOPE we meet with a ton of OTs.  I wouldn't mind double dipping in the least.  I like Remmers, don't get me wrong, but I'm not 100% certain that he's the long-term answer at RT.

Billick isn't as high on him as others:

Miami's OT Ereck Flowers looks like he'd get exposed quickly

on edge. I'd move him inside as RG and he could contribute

from day 1 there.

I'm not a huge Ereck Flowers fan on film (Nebraska, FSU

games) and he's not been super impressive here either.

Ereck Flowers is going to be a really good NFL offensive

tackle. Maybe not as a rookie, but watch out in a few years.

 i watched that same game vs. Nebraska, and he didn't have a bad game. a lot of people called Miller out on that too.

Flowers won't be a longterm starter at LT. Don't want him in the first.

#Miami OT Ereck Flowers looking pretty good in change-of-

direction compared to most of the OL. Jake Fisher also

looked good, unsurprisingly.

Ereck Flowers 5.29 1.78 That's an I make money ten yard

split

gridironstuds.com Chad Wilson @GridironStuds 4h

That's stupid that Ereck Flowers moves like that at that size.

6'6 1/4" 329 lbs. and gliding across the turf like a summer

breeze.

Ereck Flowers is a great example of a guy who wasn't great

as a junior but worked hard senior year of hs, got bigger

offers. Killing combine
