Oher is a dominant tackle who is a tremendous athlete presented in a massive frame. He’s an outstanding pass protector who blocks with a wide base, has quick feet and easily knocks the opposition off their rush. He gets off the line well and is able to push defenders back in run situations. He demonstrates great balance, patience and passion for the game. - Chris Steuber, Scout.com
