Tariq Montgomery

What the tape shows

Tariq Montgomery demonstrates solid pass-blocking ability, showing a clear understanding of protection schemes and the ability to mirror defenders effectively. However, his overall effectiveness is limited by consistently high pad level, which reduces his leverage and allows defenders to gain the upper hand, particularly in run blocking. He tends to catch blocks rather than initiate contact, resulting in defenders getting under his pads and disrupting plays. While his pass protection is more advanced, the same issues with pad height and passive engagement persist, potentially exposing him to power rushers at the next level. To maximize his impact, Montgomery must develop a more aggressive approach, lower his pad level, and initiate contact with better hand placement. With technical refinement and increased physicality, he has the potential to become a reliable offensive tackle.
