Scouting Report: Strengths
- Above-average football smarts and general intelligence. Plays with a nasty streak. Solid character and work ethic.
- Cerebral player, quick to react to twists and stunts up front, and Lugg shows an excellent understanding of angles when moving out as a run blocker.
- Shows a good feel for combo blocks, and he displays good quickness and flexibility when moving to the second level, capable of sealing the back side on reach blocks
- Eases out of his stance and has a finisher's mentality. Bends his knees, has above-average mobility and keeps his base square to adjust to counters.
- Does a nice job on the second level, moving upfield quickly and showing the flexibility and balance to land blocks in space.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Lugg often plays too high, allowing speed-to-power rushers to knock him back and off balance. He needs to get much better with his hand use.
- Although Lugg does have the physical traits of an NFL tackle, he might play too high to be a candidate to transition to guard.
- Had issues against quality counter moves, struggling to readjust. That’s something he’ll see frequently against NFL technicians in the pass rush.
- Has fairly heavy feet, struggling to mirror against quicker defenders. Lugg lacks the range to get out as an effective puller, and he can often look stiff when moving out into space and zeroing in on bodies.
