For those complaining about Schultz lack of blocking
Wydermyer earned a PFF run-blocking grade of 50.6 in 2021, ranking 203rd out of 261 qualified FBS tight ends.
Draft analysts agree with the perception that Wydermyer must improve his blocking. The Draft Network’s Brentley Weissman wrote the following about Wydermyer’s blocking:
“An area of improvement for Wydermyer would be his ability as a blocker. He has just average power at the point of attack and gets knocked backward against players who have power. His technique is just average and he misses with his hands far too often. … He does show excellent effort and a willingness to block, however, and has good size and frame to wall off defenders.”
Wydermyer is actually fine as a pass-blocker with six pressures allowed on 110 career protection snaps (5.45%). Regardless, it seems clear that his run blocking needs a lot of work.
