Elite College OL with Outland Trophy Pedigree, Though Pro Fit May Be Interior
Alex Leatherwood is a steady, high-intensity Alabama OL who won the 2020 Outland and Jacobs Blocking trophies, anchoring two CFP national champions with a presence that commands respect despite needing added strength. His differentiator is his elite college intensity and two-time champion pedigree, but he struggled against quick rushers at tackle in pro previews (winning only ~50% of 1-on-1s at the Senior Bowl), suggesting his best NFL fit is interior guard. No major injury history, but his 6'6", 327-lb frame and 5.2-second 40-yard dash show he’s a long, powerful prospect who may need to bulk up. Care about him for his proven championship DNA and blocking mastery; he’s a great fit for teams needing a reliable interior anchor, not a perimeter tackle.
