NFL TRANSITION
Rosengarten was one of the more challenging tackles to evaluate because at times there was a wide variance in his play approach and his athletic traits. There were times Rosengarten looked like a limited athlete who succeeded with high-level competitiveness and mental and physical toughness. Other times he looked smooth and comfortable in pass protection with an efficient kick-slide and excellent balance and body control.
What consistently stood out in pass protection is that Rosengarten was active and calculated with his hand usage. There were reps in which his grip strength was a defining feature to control edge pass rushers. Rosengarten featured an aggressive approach to pass protection, often attacking pass rushers rather than allowing them to gain space and attack him. That approach was part of a varied plan that featured different techniques depending on the opponent and the specific pass set.
In the run game, Rosengarten was effective as both a down blocker and working to the second level where he showed enough athleticism and mobility to strike linebackers. Overall the more I watched Rosengarten, the more I liked his tape. The variety of pass sets he can call on and his effective hand usage will help him develop into a quality starter with coaching and experience.
Other Notes
Rosengarten started all 28 games in his final two seasons at Washington. He came out of Colorado as the No. 9 offensive tackle prospect in the nation.
