What the analysts are saying

  • "Three-year starter with experience taking snaps at both tackle spots, Christian possesses good overall athleticism and foot quickness with the arm length NFL evaluators covet" - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
  • "Reliant upon his length and strength to corral pass-rushers, allowing himself to fall back onto his heels rather than playing on the balls of his feet." - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
