Personal: A criminal justice major.

Terrific size for the position (6-foot-5 and 315 pounds), Denman meets the NFL standard to garner attention around draft time. He has been a fixture at right tackle for Rutgers during his collegiate career. Denman shows enough short-area quickness to mirror in pass protection.

He has the frame to add weight and can anchor. Flashes power in the run game showing ability to create a surge. Great footwork and technique in his punch. He does tend to rise straight more than he should but that can be coached.

Overall Denman has the tools to be a late draftable prospect or priority free agent after the NFL Draft concludes. His size and technique are the calling cards coaching staffs will like the most.
