Drew Himmelman, Illinois State
An absolute monster at 6-foot-10, 315 pounds, Himmelman is a lean but powerful prospect with a demonstrated level of success in both the passing and the running games. Illinois State running back James Robinson led the FCS in rushing yards twice behind Himmelman, which speaks to the latter’s skill as a blocker.
Himmelman knows how to utilize his tall frame and athleticism to his advantage, balancing explosiveness with leverage and good hand technique to keep defenders from bull-rushing the quarterback. His drawbacks include his age (he will be 25 years old as a rookie) and his relative lack of lateral mobility, as well as the standard “FCS prospect” concerns about the level of competition faced.
