Ourlads' Profile:
2018 Guide: What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about BILLY PRICE: Ohio State, 6036 305 5.00. Four-year starter from Austintown, OH. The durable center/guard Ironman has 55 consecutive career starts. He followed in the footsteps of former Buckeye and current starting center for the Minnesota Vikings, Pat Elflein, by moving from guard to center his senior year. The competitive Price makes the line calls and has a quick snap and step move. Plays square with a good knee bend and base to anchor a bull rush. Has the strength and leverage power to turn a defender out of the hole. A good athlete who can redirect quickly to patiently handle a spin move. Has the lower body strength to get movement in short yardage and goal-line runs. Gets good hand position on the down defender and drives his legs on contact. Has the skill and technique to mirror a nose tackle in one-on-one pass protection. Plays the game on his feet. Takes the proper steps when pulling, folding, or logging his assignment to engage and control the defender. Early in the year his timing and angles were off, cleaning up the second level of the defense. A natural knee bender who can get driven back if he gets too high. Smart and instinctive player who has good situational awareness. Gains position and sticks with his man. A mature and stable blocker who is productive and consistent. Will be a day one starter. Medical exclusion at Combine, tore his pectoral muscle bench pressing. Should be ready to go in the fall. Second/third round. (A-32, H-9 3/4, BP-DNP, 10-DNP).
