Moton's power and anchor make him a strong fit for a gap/duo power run scheme, with his pass protection being a valuable asset that complements his run-blocking ability.
Year 1 starter at B-gap run game guard, with ceiling as a long-term anchor.
His less fluid movements would be a poor fit for a pure outside zone scheme, where agility in space is paramount.
Moton is a powerful interior lineman whose strength and anchor excel in a power-blocking scheme, offering immediate impact as a starter.
Selected #64 overall in Round 2 of the 2017 NFL Draft by Carolina Panthers out of Western Michigan.
