Austin Blythe is best suited for a zone-heavy blocking scheme that prioritizes quickness, footwork, and the ability to get to the second level over raw power.
Blythe projects as a capable backup center in his rookie year, with the potential to develop into a reliable starting center in a zone-blocking scheme due to his intelligence and technique.
A power-gap scheme that demands dominant anchor strength and consistent one-on-one trench warfare against large interior defenders would minimize his effectiveness.
While lacking elite physical traits, his intelligence and experience in a pro-style system make him a valuable, versatile interior line prospect for the right scheme.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
