With just average athleticism and flexibility, Lemieux will likely struggle in zone blocking schemes and offenses dependent on their interior linemen pulling or playing in space. Additionally, Lemieux\u2019s average athleticism shows up within his pass protection where he can struggle with footwork and balance. However, Lemieux plays with the strength and power to be a mauler in the run game for a team that places emphasis on a downhill power running game. Lemieux plays with an edge and has the ability to bulldoze defenders when tasked with moving them off the line of scrimmage. Furthermore, Lemieux\u2019s 52 game start streak demonstrates his toughness, experience, and his leadership intangibles which are very well regarded throughout the scouting community. Within the proper scheme, Lemieux would flourish given his intangibles and raw power. Moreover, if Lemieux can develop his pass sets and improve his awareness in space, he could develop into a quality, starting-caliber guard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Main photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"zK4Q1yhGTkx5p2RJPBSAow\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1203574237\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'zK4Q1yhGTkx5p2RJPBSAow',sig:'I6qKFCwEYgDj8OdsjG3ONL38RAnUo4rOzltWawXBlmg=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1203574237',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shane Lemieux Overview Position: Interior offensive line Height: 6\u20194\u201d Weight: 310 lbs Arms: 32 \u00bc\u201d Hands: 9 \u00bd\u201d School: Oregon NFL Combine Performance Data 40 Yard Dash: 5.11 seconds Three Cone Drill: 8.13 seconds Bench Press: N\/A Vertical Jump: 25.5\u201d Broad Jump: 107\u201d Shane Lemieux 2020 NFL Draft Profile\u00a0 Playing for Washington\u2019s West Valley High [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3217,"featured_media":85421,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1647,33760],"tags":[5273,5997,174,329,61,40,1900,2363,2030,6149],"class_list":["post-85408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-draft","category-profiles","tag-2020-nfl-draft","tag-2020-nfl-offseason","tag-baltimore-ravens","tag-carolina-panthers","tag-football","tag-nfl","tag-nfl-combine","tag-nfl-draft-grades","tag-nfl-draft-profiles","tag-shane-lemiuex"],"modified_by":"Michael Kovacs, ADMIN","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3217"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=85408"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85408\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":247101,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85408\/revisions\/247101"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/85421"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=85408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=85408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
