New Las Vegas Raiders offensive lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson has impressive tape, but will make a position change in the NFL.
They made good on that, adding several players in free agency and the 2024 NFL Draft. Coach Antonio Pierce and Offensive Coordinator Luke Getsy will need trench play, so improving that group was paramount.
Powers-Johnson was reportedly playing left guard during rookie minicamp. His Oregon tape features him at center, so we will evaluate his tape at center and apply it to what it looks like as he moves with the Silver and Black. On the next play, Powers-Johnson drops back into pass protection. He anchors quickly, gets a wide enough, but not too wide, stance, and has quick, choppy footwork. He meets his defender speedily and does not allow them to get leverage against him.
The scheme change will be minuscule for him, too. Powers-Johnson came from an inside zone-blocking scheme under Ducks’ Offensive Coordinator Will Stein. Luke Getsy also runs an inside zone-blocking scheme.
