Summary
Strengths
Big, thick, powerful build from head to toe
Stalls speed to power with his thick lower half
Generates significant power from his lower half as a run blocker to strike and drive through the play
Quick off the ball for his size to latch onto his targets
Engulfs and dumps defenders in close quarters when run blocking
Had a play against NC State in the 3rd quarter when he was asked to pull and it's amazing to watch him run
Just 20 years old on draft night (June birthday)
Weaknesses
Can get caught leaning in pass protection against speedy rushers, making it hard to recover in the opposite direction once he gets over his skis
Lateral agility is average and will raise questions about a move inside to guard
Fails to sustain run blocks when his pad level runs high
Needs to find more control when on the move to land on his targets more consistently
Final Report
Mauigoa is a thick offensive lineman that overwhelms defenders with his size and raw power. He is very similar to Taliese Fuaga as a prospect and should offer the same tackle/guard flexibility for an NFL team picking in the top 15.
