#4 Calvin Throckmorton, OT, Oregon

Throckmorton has excellent thickness throughout his frame and looks more like an entire guy body-wise despite being 6’5”, 310 pounds

There is no more versatile offensive linemen in the country than this Oregon standout. Overall, Throckmorton has started all 38 games in his career for the Ducks – all at right tackle as a freshman, 10 at RT and three at right guard as a sophomore and last season he started everywhere but left tackle.

Throckmorton has excellent thickness throughout his frame and looks more like an entire guy body-wise despite being 6’5”, 310 pounds. The O-line chess piece has allowed just three combined QB sacks and hits in almost 900 pass-pro snaps since the start of the 2017 season and didn’t surrender a single sack for 27 straight games until late last season. He stays under good balance and has a tight grip on pass-rushers.

In the run game, Throckmorton has the agility to work the inside and outside zone game, was utilized plenty as a puller on gap schemes and does the load of the work on combo-blocks by creating a ton of movement at the point of attack.

As I have said plenty of times, the Oregon O-line has a chance to be special this season. Throckmorton doesn’t quite have the athletic ability of the two guys I have ahead of him, but his technique and smarts for the position are excellent.
