Profile

Summary:Garnett is the next star is a recent run of standout Stanford linemen. Garnett may be the best of the bunch as he was the first player in school history to win Outland Award as nation's top interior linemen. Garnett is 6-foot-4 and usually plays around 325 pounds, so he has the size to compete in the trenches.

Lance Zierlein of NFL.com talked up Garnett's strength, saying "if he gets downhill momentum on defender, it's lights out. Able to strike and center his blocks between his shoulders. Very good hand placement, upper body strength and hip torque to steer and turn opponent on hook blocks. Generates good power from legs and hips."

Stacking up: NFL Media analysts Mike Mayock and Bucky Brooks ranked Garnett as their No. 2 prospect at the position behind Kansas State guard Cody Whitehair.

Second-generation pro: Garnett's father, Scott, was a standout defensive linemen for the University of Washington before he was an eight-round draft pick by the Broncos in 1984. Scott Garnett played for Denver, San Diego, San Francisco and Buffalo during his pro career.
