Summary
Strengths
Smart, aware and polished
Smooth mover in the zone running game that lands on his targets and can cut off defenders
Quick acceleration gets him on top of linebackers at the second level before they can get downhill
Strong week of practices at the Senior Bowl, showing off active hands and a stout anchor
Weaknesses
Slightly undersized with very short arms
Strong DTs can pull him one direction and slip around the opposite shoulder
Lacks the mass to be a consistent people mover as a drive blocker
Final Report
Hecht is an athletic, polished center prospect that plays under control. He is built for zone heavy run teams as he glides off the ball and stays square in front of defenders, Despite lacking ideal mass, he maximizes his base with a strong anchor unlocked from his hips and precise hands. Stout defensive tackles can push and pull him, knocking him off balance in a phonebooth. NFL team's that value athleticism and technique over raw size and power will value Hecht as a future starting center on day two of the draft.
