He works well in a phone booth (tight spaces) and uses the correct hand placement to get movement on the defensive lineman. He displays good body control when blocking out in space, does not get overextended when reaching the second level on a linebacker. His pass protection is calm and direct with good short strikes and is direct with his steps when setting. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="39021" first="William" last="Rinker"] 6-7 310 Offensive Tackle Charleston High School  </strong> A tall imposing fixture at offensive tackle measuring in at 6-7 and weighing 310 pounds, Rinker displays the ability to short set in pass pro and use his long arms to create separation from the defensive lineman.
