Spencer Drango Highlights

More Hightlights

Grew up in Texas dreaming of playing for the Longhorns but had change of thought during recruiting process to help build the program at Baylor and bring it to the national stage. Size had and often times played with older children due to size limitations in the leagues he played in. Huge wide body tackle in college who may project better suited for guard at the next level. It will allow his versatility to increase his overall value in the 2016 NFL Draft. Has the strength to power and clear lanes. Can smash opponents off the ball. Drango prides himself on technique and making every rep successful making up for any elite athletic traits he may be lacking. Team oriented and well verse on an up tempo style offense that also included a prominent running game. He gets stronger as game goes on and relishes contact up field. Demonstrates skills to get to second level and seal linebackers. Can pull and level defenders at the point of attack. He can over set and be beaten by counter moves inside.  Over the course of time in the business I may not have come across a more genuine individual. Appears as hard-working country boy with nasty streak on the field. Had 48 starts and very dependable.
