A CLOSER LOOK Casey Hampton



School: Texas.
Height: 6-1.
Weight: 321.
Year: Senior.
Highlights: First-team All-American tackle anchored strong Longhorns line. Dominant run defender.
Positives: Great football character. Will play hurt. Self-starter. Always plays hard. Even when he is nearing empty, he will still continue to play hard. Leader. Very wide and thick build. Has tremendous lower-body strength, power and explosion and is strong in the upper body.
Negatives: Lacks height and may be a little too heavy. Looks a little tight in the hips at times and is not a really gifted athlete. Will never be a top pass rusher, despite the fact he is very tenacious, because of his height and lack of great long speed. May be close to as good as he can be.
