02Scheme fit
Ideal system

West Coast timing offenses prioritizing pass protection and movement, with a complementary zone running game.

Left tackleBlindside protectorZone scheme LTSwing tackle
Best role

Year 1 swing tackle developing into a starting left tackle with a ceiling as a reliable, long-term pass protector.

Wrong fit

A power-run heavy, gap-scheme offense that requires a dominant drive blocker and finisher.

Sherrod's athleticism and footwork make him an ideal fit for schemes that value agility and pass-blocking prowess from their tackles.

04The evaluation

Selected #32 overall in Round 1 of the 2011 NFL Draft by Green Bay Packers out of Mississippi State.
