Pros

• Super athletic for the position and it shows on tape.

• Easy mover in pass protection that rarely can't reach a block.

• Excellent football IQ in the interior of the offense as he can effectively recognize blitzers.

• Pops out of his stance in pass protection with his head on a swivel.

• Nasty power in his punch plants blitzers to the turf when he lands.

• Strong hands when he locks onto defenders to keep them from creating plays. 

• Good anchor and wide base prevents bull rushes from overwhelming him.

• Always is looking to finish his blocks in pass protection.
  

• Comes off the line with great power.
  

• Has enough power to uproot and drive defensive lineman off the ball if he establishes leverage.

• Can be a mauler in the trenches when he gets underneath a defensive lineman's pads.

• No issues with reaching the second level on que and making blocks.

• Can make blocks in the second level with consistency due to his fluid athleticism, often overwhelming safeties and linebackers with ease.

• Comes from a program with long and storied history of producing NFL offensive lineman.

• Two year starter at the center position for one of the best offensive lines in the country for the past decade.

• #2 ranked rushing attack in 2022 despite lacking a stellar running back behind him.

Cons

• Too often is leaning as blocker which often causes him to fall.

• Pad level is consistent issue for him in the interior as short and powerful defensive tackles often win the leverage battle.

 

• Body control at the point of attack needs improvement.

 

• Struggles with generating effective drive from his lower half due to pad level concerns.

 

• Can be late on occasion to recognize twists and stunts into his gap. 

 

• Seems to lack flexibility in his hips which contributes to his balance and stability when sustaining blocks.

Overview

If there is one school in college football tied to a position its the University of Wisconsin and offensive lineman and Joe Tippman is the latest product in a long, long, long line of talented offensive lineman. Tippman is a great athlete with excellent pass protection skills that can be a quarterbacks best friend. Most of his issues as prospect unfortunately come from his size for the position as his 6'6" frame does him no favors in the interior when blocking short power based defensive tackles that try to clog the interior as he struggles to get underneath their pads to create drive. If he can fix his pad level consistency, he'll be a good starter in the interior of the offensive line and with his coaching at one of the best schools in the country at producing lineman, he should hit the ground running in the NFL.
