Former Rams coach compares this draft prospect to 2 franchise all-time greats

Mike Martz didn’t have the head coaching career that he and the Rams had hoped for, but having been with the franchise as early as 1992 and as recently as 2005 he knows plenty about what it’s like to be around the all-time greats. Does that make it more meaningful then that Martz sees Oregon State’s Taliese Fuaga as a premier right tackle prospect and someone who has certain traits that remind Martz of Orlando Pace and Jackie Slater?

Martz did not say that Fuaga’s NFL comps are Pace and Slater, he did not go that far, he just mentioned several times in this video for The 33rd Team that at times he perceived certain pass blocking abilities that reminded him of two offensive tackles who were on the team at the same time as him.
