Jonathan Luigs​

Offensive Center - Arkansas​

• Height - 6'3 5/8"
• Weight - 301
• 40 Time - 5.14
• Bench Reps - 26
• Vert. Jump - 31"
• Broad Jump - 8' 3"

Draft Projection – 3rd Round

Highlights/Awards – 3 time finalist for the Rimington Trophy (Top Center), won it once (2007)

NFL Impact: Luigs, has 46 consecutive starts (4 at RG as a freshman) with the last 42 at C. Quick explosive first step with good technique helps make up for a bit of a lack in lower body strength. He’s better blocking to his sides than against a straight on Bull Rush. A top-notch run blocker whose awareness and speed will be a benefit in a zone blocking offensive system


So where do you think Luigs will land? How successful will he be in the NFL?

Obviously I'm in offensive lineman mode this draft season due to Pittsburgh needing to completely rebuild theirs. I like Luigs alot if he's around in the 3rd round due to his durability and the fact he's faced the highest level of college competition during his Razorback career and excelled. His stock would've been much higher had he came out last year but I think he'll be a solid 10+ year starter in the league.
