Zak Zinter Summary:

The Positives

• Strong
• Moves well on pulls
• Mean streak, especially run blocking

The Negatives

• A bit slow on his pulls, can block up the hole at times
• Footwork is not bad, but could use improvement

Zak Zinter is definitely worth a first round selection. It’s really unfortunate that he suffered that leg injury in “The Game”. It reminds us very much of 2022 Draftee Andrew Vorhees. Despite being a first round talent, he is going to fall due to the injury. All we can say is whoever takes a shot on him on Day 3(possibly 2?) is going to be very, very happy when he’s recovered.
