The countdown continues and our number eleven prospect in college football is...

Offensive Tackle Anthony Castonzo, Boston College (Senior):

The Skinny: At 6’7” Castonzo is blessed with ideal length and a perfect frame for an NFL tackle. He has the ability to dominate against both the run and the pass thanks to his athletic prowess. The Illinois native possesses the agility to get to the second level of the defense to make blocks on linebackers, with the footwork and lateral quickness to handle speed pass rushers coming off the edge. Castonzo is “only” 295 pounds, a bit light in the pants for a man of size—he will need to bulk up and get stronger to be dominant at the next level. The all-ACC performer is among the most experienced and durable players in all of college football regardless of position, with 41 starts already under his belt, including 27 straight at left tackle. If Castonzo continues to improve as a senior the BC product has a chance to be the top tackle in the 2011 NFL Draft and is a potential top-10 selection.
