Scouting Notes
- Hand placement and strength are perfect.
- Vertical mobility is great for his size.
- Massive frame, a true “hog-mama”. He looks like an NFL player with his size.
- Severe motor issues. Torrence gives up on plays way too easily.
- Terrible habit of turning to see the ball instead of keeping his head in the play.
- Completely lack quickness, explosiveness and twitch.
Short Summary
When you watch film, O’Cyrus Torrence immediately jumps out at you. He looks like a men among boys with his massive stature, it’s hard to imagine him be an unsuccessful NFL player. When you dive into the tape, however, the concerns begin to mount.
Aside from all the issues written above, he is also a poor athlete, and he is too old to be this fundamentally flawed. He seems to have deeply ingrained instincts that are severely counter-productive.
There is a lot to work on with O’Cyrus Torrence. I can understand wanting him on your team merely for his size and imposing stature, but my hopes aren’t high that Torrence will develop into a quality NFL starter.
Scouting Card Key
- Age refers to the age of the player come draft night, rounded to the nearest half-age.
- Percentage numbers in the Player Info and Combine Stats sections – This refers to the percentile that number belongs to among all players at his position, going back nearly a decade.
- Percentiles in the Advanced Stats portion for cumulative stats are snap-adjusted. In other words, naturally, a player with more snaps will allow more sacks. Therefore, the percentiles are calculated using the snap-adjusted number, rather than the straight-forward total.
- PBLK Grade – PFF Pass Block Grade.
- RBLK Grade – PFF Run Block Grade.
- HitA, HurryA, PressA, SacksA – Hits Allowed, Hurries Allowed, Pressures Allowed, Sacks Allowed.
