Though Lang is a bully on the line, he possesses rare agility and mobility for his size and can be an elite lead blocker as a puller. His pop out of his stance and balance is impressive given the big fella's size. Lang is also proficient in pass protection with his ability to read, react, and win in hand-to-hand combat- making him an all-around tackle and a can't miss prospect. With nearly all of the SEC schools lined up for his services, look for Lang to continue to open up gaps in the run game and keep his QB clean on a weekly basis.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/VysenL/status/1546902241247895554?s=20&t=LonLO6AwUNMAraHZsyJi5Q </div></figure>   <p></p>    <p>Debose is a physical specimen that has next-level athleticism and talent.
