He doesn’t have the experience or even the level of competition that some of the other tackle prospects in this class have due to playing in the FCS and his 2020 season only consisting of one showcase game.

He’s a mauler in the run game, has a good frame to be an NFL tackle although he could afford to put on some more weight. He has good lateral mobility, control and balance. He excelled at the 2021 Senior Bowl where he was named the “Overall Practice Player-of-the-Week” which was also won by Justin Herbert in 2020.

He would likely need some time to adjust to the NFL as his level of competition was weaker than other tackles in this class. Filling out his frame is another thing that could help Radunz take his game to the next level. If he can improve his strength and continue to develop, he could become a starting tackle in the NFL.
