Scouting Report

Ratledge is a powerful interior offensive lineman with good athleticism and technical refinement. He displays impressive strength at the point of attack, moving defenders in the run game with powerful drive blocking. In pass protection, Ratledge shows a strong anchor and good lateral mobility to mirror interior rushers.
