Scouting Report: Strengths
- An agile mover who puts his length to good use, using his hands aggressively and landing solid initial punches. Driskell can move to the second level as a run blocker, with the coordination and balance to hit moving targets.
- Coordinated when moving to the second level as a run blocker, capable of landing blocks on the move.
- Quick to get his hands up and will use his length to his advantage early in the down.
- Cerebral player, quick to react to twists and stunts up front, and Driskell shows an excellent understanding of angles when moving out as a run blocker.
- Solid positional run blocker who flashes the nasty demeanor and killer instinct scouts covet.
- Displays good awareness when it comes to reading moving bodies, effectively reacting and adjusting. Driskell also shows a good feel for combo blocks.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- For all of his physical gifts, often gets terribly sloppy, especially in pass protection.
- Plays with poor balance, doing too much reaching and lunging when his initial punch is ineffective. Trying to mirror against quickness will be a problem for him.
- Is a little too much of a waist bender, and Driskell doesn’t play with ideal power and functional strength. Most concerning - he often gets caught dropping his head, a bad habit that will have to be corrected.
