Overview

I don't like judging someone's play by the way they look but Cody Mauch long ginger hair and missing front teeth speaks to a menacing presence on the football field and Mauch certainly lives up to his image. Mauch is tough SOB on the football field that plays the way that has historically been successful in the NFL and his presence in a teams offensive line is going to at least give them a bump in the game from a production perspective because he will create holes. There are certainly concerns about his effectiveness in pass protection as he makes the likely transition to the guard position but he's smart enough and competitive enough to learn the position effectively. He'll be a tone-setter on an NFL offensive line at some point and could be an integral part of a teams identity.
