NFL Prospect, Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama

Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama

Born: 9/14/1991 Atlanta, Georgia         Years in College: 4

Height: 6’3″      Weight: 320lbs

Overview: Alabama’s frontmen dominated virtually every defensive line they faced in 2012. Warmack was a major part of the equation due to his footwork and strength. He moves surprisingly well downfield to take on blocking linebackers. Although shorter than the ideal, Warmack is the most NFL-ready guard prospect in the draft. His performance at the BCS Championship Game against Notre Dame proved this, helping the Crimson Tide offense roll over the hyped Irish defense. His rather un impressive 40 yard dash time is uncharacteristic, and could indicate a lack of preparation.

Combine Results: 

• 40 Yard Dash: 5.49 seconds
• Broad Jump: 110.0 inches

Draft Rankings Overall/Position: CBS Sports 3/1 Walter Football 9/1

Projected Team and Round: He didn’t have a particularly impressive showing at the combine, but scouts have seen Warmack where it really counts–on the field. Great tackles typically fall to the later first round, but Warmack’s experience–having played in 5 games as a true freshman and starting every game for the next 3 seasons–makes him special. He won’t fall past the Rams at #16, but don’t be surprised if the Arizona Cardinals take him #7. The Cardinals need a reliable guy up front, and Warmack is the epitome of reliable.
