Hollin Pierce

Eagles signed Rutgers OT Hollin Pierce.

Pierce (6’8/341) is a mountain of a man who has started 12-plus games in each of the last four seasons while earning Second Team All-Big Ten recognition last year. He recorded 80th percentile grades in both run and pass blocking while allowing just two sacks and 31 pressures over 772 pass reps the last two years. One of the largest linemen in the OL group, Pierce’s mass is difficult for defenders to triangulate, and he’s a bruiser who uses his 36” arms to engulf opponents and hold them at bay. His slow feet and lumbering frame leave him vulnerable to twitchy, elusive pass rushers that can catch him leaning into contact. Movement concerns aside, Pierce has a prototype NFL body which could help him develop into a valued swing with starting right tackle upside.
