Draft Profile: Frank Okam

Posted April 25th, 2008 by Brian
Filed under: Draft, Football

Frank Okam Position: Defensive Tackle
Height: 6-5
Weight: 347 pounds
Hometown: Dallas, TX

Strengths: Smart football player with incredible natural strength and athleticism. Good against the run because his size and strength make him tough for opposing lineman to budge. As much upside as just about any defensive lineman in this year’s draft.

Weaknesses: Underachieved at Texas. Not a high motor guy and takes too many plays off. Is too heavy at 350 pounds, would be a much more effective player 15 pounds lighter. Recurring knee injuries possibly related to carrying too much weight.

Projection: 4th or 5th round

Frank is one BIG ol boy. He needs to have a better passion for the game in my opinion. I dont know his personality but you can just tell the way he plays. Best of luck to all the Longhorns in the draft.
