When on the move in the open field, Price does a great job locating defensive backs and takes good angles to remove them from the play. In addition to his tremendous run blocking, he's also a strong blindside protector in pass pro.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='406987' first='Raymond' last='Tongolei'] || OL || 6'0 || 230 || Kearns High School || 2024 </strong><br>Tongolei decimates defensive linemen all four quarters.
