Derwin Gray NFL Draft 2019: Scouting Report for Pittsburgh Steelers' Pick

STRENGTHS

—Thick build from top to bottom and has the barrel-chested frame scouts want. Beyond that, he uses his size (6'4", 320 lbs) well and will throw his weight around in both phases when needed.

—Good ability to engage his lower back and butt to anchor versus power in pass protection.

—Jarring punch in pass protection that stuns defenders when it lands square and can immediately give him the upper hand in one-on-one reps.

—Pulls his hands quickly after his punches and can throw them again with good timing and placement to stay active throughout the entire rep.
