He's a willing pass blocker, but he's not very good at it. He was credited with allowing 9 hurries last season and I don't recall seeing him in pass pro all that often. (If anyone has how many pass pro snaps he had in 2022, that would be helpful). He's good at the cut block, but that's it. He's not gonna stone a pass rushing LB.Can any of our resident draftniks tell us whether Achane is a willing and able pass blocker? Curious how much of a tell he might be on certain down & distances…
But I'm not sure I'd be all that worried about it being a tell. He's probably not going to stay in as a pass blocker, but he's definitely a threat to release out of the backfield or get the ball on a draw. That will make the pass rush hesitate. And if he can be used on a screen then defense really has to worry. (Screens are some of my favorite football plays. When done right they just feel like what football is supposed to look like). IMO getting our screen game down would be a huge complimentary weapon to add to this offense.
