Conor McDermott

He started all 12 games, 2nd team All-Pac-12. McDermott is 6’9″ and 310 pounds, with 34-inch arms. In short, he’s the perfect NFL specimen.

That said, he was completely overmatched against top-line talent and has not showed the power desired by NFL scouts to be considered a surefire high-end draft pick.

He is heady, he is consistent, and he is a tireless worker, so some time will snap him up in the fifth or sixth round.
