The West Coast offense, characterized by its zone blocking scheme and emphasis on short, quick passes, relies on linemen who can execute precise blocks in space.
Immediate starter at guard, with the potential to develop into a Pro Bowl-caliber interior lineman who excels in both run and pass blocking.
A power-run, gap-scheme offense where his athleticism is underutilized in favor of pure mauling power.
Zeitler's combination of size, agility, and technical proficiency makes him an excellent fit for intellectual zone blocking schemes.
Selected #27 overall in Round 1 of the 2012 NFL Draft by Cincinnati Bengals out of Wisconsin.
