GMEN HQ: Question #2: What are Bredeson’s strengths and weaknesses?

Ebony Bird:

Bredeson’s strength has always been his raw power and run blocking.

The Michigan product was one of the strongest players in the 2020 NFL Draft class and he made a living in college as a powerful run blocker.

However, his ceiling isn’t sky-high given his subpar length and athleticism. Bredeson is more powerful than he is explosive and he lacks the lateral mobility and overall length to probably be anything more than an average player at his position.
