Game Film Evaluated:
Florida State (2014)
Ohio State (2014)
Washington (2013)

Pros: Ideal frame and length. Built well for the tackle position. Quick and smooth feet, gets into position quickly. Gets upfield with ease and can hit the moving target. Absolute terror getting to the 2nd level and driving feet. He slides and moves well down the line on stretch plays. Played physical vs Ohio State, finished blocks and taking his man to the ground often. Played RT prior to 2014. He can flash ability to anchor and handle a bull rush with lower body strength.

Cons: Not much of a drive blocker in the run game, doesn’t get a big push. His blocks are defeated, struggles to keep his man engaged on run blocks. Lets defenders get hands into his body, keep arms extended, makes him very vulnerable to a strong rip move. He will at times miss with his initial punch and that is only time he gives up pressure.


Summary: Jake Fisher is a typical left tackle college prospect from a spread offense, extremely comfortable in the passing game but has a lot to be desired in the run game. He adds a physical element and looks to finish his blocks often and take his man to the ground. He is most comfortable in pass protection and getting on the move in the run game. He would work best in a zone blocking scheme and perform well in an offense that prefers to air it out often and run to the ball outside the tackle. Fisher will struggle versus polished pass rushers in the NFL if he continues to let rushers get their hands on his body and toss him aside but that is technique which all prospects have room to grow. He is a top 20 overall prospect and a day one starter at left tackle for a zone blocking pass first type scheme.
