Ryan Berger

What the tape shows

Ryan Berger demonstrates valuable versatility, effectively playing both Center and Guard positions. His athleticism allows him to pull and climb to the second level, and his footwork is solid for an interior lineman. Berger’s run blocking stands out as his primary strength; he consistently generates push at the point of attack and maintains effort through the whistle. However, in pass protection, he tends to become head heavy after engaging defenders, which can lead to balance issues and vulnerability to being pulled down or stumbling forward. To maximize his impact, Berger needs to refine his technique to avoid over-leaning and focus on building functional strength, reducing his reliance on leaning to anchor. Overall, Berger projects as a reliable interior lineman with strong run-blocking ability and the potential to develop into a well-rounded starter if he addresses his pass protection technique and strength.
