Matt Miller 7 round mock 3/27/24

[InPhiltraitor]

Lance Zierlein is a fan of the center we took in the 5th round.

Overview
Broad and powerful with thick hips and adequate length for the position. The Cornell transfer not only possesses NFL-caliber core strength, technique and body control, he also had quality performances against his toughest Big Ten competition. Nourzad has the feel and footwork for all run-blocking schemes and is strong enough to deal with a 0-technique lined up over him. While he’s strong on impact, he needs to be careful about playing too far out over his skis in order to keep from whiffing. His punch and anchor are where they need to be, but the Ohio State game showed he has work to do with twist recognition and response. Nourzad has early starter ability at center.

Overview starts off detailing a girl I dated a few months back to a T. Crossing my fingers that this works out better.

Watched all of PSU’s games this year and don’t quite have the level of confidence Zierlein does in Nourzad’s game vs. a power player. Then again, Coach Franklin and Co. are very adept at masking their players true abilities.
