Prospect Profiles

Sean Bubin
Position: Offensive Tackle
College: Illinois
Height: 6-6
Weight: 306
Hometown: Rantoul, Ill.

Analysis | Agility | High School | Personal

OVERVIEW
Model of consistency for the Illini, starting three seasons at the demanding left offensive tackle position … Allowed only one quarterback sack in 36 games as a starter … A two-way lineman in high school, he spent his freshman season at Illinois performing on special teams … Replaced Marques Sullivan at left tackle the following year, leading the way as the offense set school season records for yardage in both 2001 and 2002.

ANALYSIS
Positives: Has a tall frame with long arms, broad shoulders, good thickness in the chest, wide waist and hips, thick thighs and calves and above-average balance … Shows excellent body control on the move, exploding on contact … Has above-average lateral agility and quickly gets out front when pulling in space … Looks fluid in making the hard reach block, then pivoting to locate a secondary target … Plays with a good base, keeping his feet underneath his body … Sets a heavy anchor and rarely over-extends … Uses his mass and strength very well when blocking in-line … Stays on blocks consistently and shows proper hand placement that allows him to control and sustain … Sets his feet and shows quickness kicking out in his pass blocking, using his speed to redirect inside … Adept at switching up on stunts and is quick to recognize and locate the blitz … His nimble feet allow him to drop step and cut off and reach when zone blocking … Also gives 100-percent effort to hold on and stay on blocks … Keeps his shoulders square on double teams and has the burst to locate linebackers working into the second level.

Negatives: Gets good movement off the snap, but needs to keep his shoulders square rather than lean into the defenders … More of a mauler than a fighter, preferring to defeat his man with finesse rather than aggression … Has a good kick slide, but is sometimes late to cut off vs. the wide speed rush … Gets his leg base a little too wide at times, resulting in him being late to change direction vs. the quick speed rush.

AGILITY TESTS
5.13 in the 40-yard dash … 1.82 10-yard dash … Bench presses 225 pounds 25 times … 4.74 20-yard shuttle … 7.54 three-cone drill … 26½-inch vertical jump … 8-foot-2 broad jump … 33¼-inch arm length … 9 3/8-inch hands.

HIGH SCHOOL
Attended Rantoul (Ill.) High, earning first-team all-state honors from the Chicago Tribune and Illinois High School Coaches Association as a junior and senior … Two-time News-Gazette all-area selection … Two-time All-Big 12 Conference offensive and defensive line pick … Named Rantoul MVP, Prep Star All-American, first-team ESPN All-American and Chicago Sun-Times "Top 100" selection … Helped lead Rantoul to the state playoffs as a senior … Played on the offensive line, defensive line and tight end for Coach Terry Workman … Earned eight varsity letters, including three in football, two in track and three in basketball.

PERSONAL
Leisure Studies/Sports Management major … Brother, Aaron, played football at Southern Illinois … Son of Barry and Janet Bubin, owners of Miko Restaurant in Champaign, Ill. … Born Sean Christopher Bubin on Jan. 26, 1981 in Houston, Texas … Resides in Rantoul, Ill.

WWWOOOWW he sounds amazing. 1 sack allowed in 36 starts that's awesome. Let's hope he's the next Orlando Pace, Jonathon Ogden, or Walter Jones

Uhhh.....okay

hmm he must be a project but the coaches must see talent in the guy

Everyone looks good on paper. .................... by the way JORDAN, as much as i would like to see it happen, Julian Peterson aint going nowhere. hes the most athletic linebacker in the NFL today and the best player on the 49ers roster

he a mammoth i just wish he could develop fast.

The numbers sound good, but something must be funny about his technique or something since he was only a practice squad guy.

All I know is, he's terrible in Madden. :lol:
