Strengths

Anyone that was a four-year started in the SEC has a lot of talent. To do that as a lineman is even more difficult. Boehm has great size and will develop even more lower-body strength at the next level, which will help his game.

He moves well side-to-side, allowing him to protect the quarterback and pick up multiple blocking assignments. A former wrestler, Boehm has strong hands, which allows him to latch on to defenders and clear paths.

Skip to 0:11 to see Boehm move laterally and block at the second level. Throughout the video, it is clear that he is an elite blocker even as a sophomore at the time.

Perhaps his greatest strength is his experience. He has blocked for multiple quarterbacks and running backs over his college career and has shown that he can dominate opponents. Boehm was also a captain in 2015, illustrating his leadership skills.
