Scouting Report: Strengths
- Big athlete with good bulk and a filled-out frame. Stays balanced and doesn't overextend in pass protection. Stays disciplined with good bend and leverage.
- Bursts offthe line of scrimmage and has tremendous natural strength and power, able to dominate at the point of attack and wipe out defenders in the run game.
- Does a nice job on the second level, moving upfield quickly and showing the flexibility and balance to land blocks in space.
- Takes much more pride in the run game, where Sow plays through the whistle with tremendous physicality.
- Coordinated when moving to the second level as a run blocker, capable of landing blocks on the move.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Flashes the ability to move his man with his hands, but is not yet consistent in this area.
- Susceptible to speed rushers. Has only average quickness off the snap and doesn't possess the acceleration or arm length to corral defenders once they cross his face.
- Lacks foot speed to be a major threat as a lead blocker outside. Inconsistent latching on and gets lazy, bending at the waist.
- Tends to slip off blocks when going against bigger linemen, and Sow too often finishes plays on the ground.
