Scouting Report: Strengths
- Has good footwork and technique. Balanced and agile pass protection set with excellent hand placement.
- Uses his hands well, with good hand placement to maximize his powerful punch. Dellinger shows impressive coordination between his upper and lower body when moving in pass protection.
- Shows good quickness and flexibility on reach blocks, and Dellinger has enough range to get out as a puller.
- Solid positional run blocker who flashes the nasty demeanor and killer instinct scouts covet.
- He's infinitely coachable and athletically gifted with the ideal frame, physique, weight distribution, knee bend and hand strength to be molded into a special blocker.
- Quick feet to get inside of defensive tackles to wall off inside and reach linebackers at the second level.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Often gets too high in his sets, sacrificing some of his power, and Dellinger doesn’t show great coordination between his upper and lower body when sliding back in pass protection.
- Is a little too much of a waist bender, and he 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.
- Has good-not-great feet. Dealing with speed on the edge will likely be a problem, especially because he’s more comfortable moving forward as a run blocker than he is retreating as a pass protector.
