Top 12 standouts from Senior Bowl '19

#4 Ben Powers, OL, Oklahoma

Heading into last week, I was curious to see some of these Oklahoma offensive linemen work individually, as they had been such a strong overall unit through 2018, and there was a clear distinction between the two guys they sent down to Mobile.

While Dru Samia struggled heavily with how wide his hands got and the balance issues he showed, his teammate Ben Powers had a really good week. The 6’4” guard keeps a strong grip on defenders and has the sturdy base to swallow power rushers.

Powers showed the ability to anchor and keep his hands inside the chest of the opposing guy early on in one-on-ones versus the D-line. Then he doesn’t stop his feet late in reps and showed that he likes to throw people to the ground at the end.

I thought Powers was very consistent protecting the passer and creating movement in the run game by rolling his hips and using proper hand-placement all week long. Although Samia kind of scared me with the way he got whooped in one-on-ones, I really like the nastiness all those guys on the Oklahoma offensive line play with.
