Good mirror skills in pass protection. Above average mobility. Can get out space and lead the way on screen passes. Competes through the whistle.

Conclusion

Overall, Wanogho is a prototype left tackle that plays with physicality in the running game and has shown good natural ability in pass protection. Others in the class are getting most of the buzz, but it might be a mistake to overlook Wanogho as a potential long-term starter on the blindside.
