Good size and length, solid footwork in pass protection, functional athlete​​.

Rouse might not have a distinguishing trait to hang his hat on, but he has NFL size and smarts with passable athleticism and strength to compete for an NFL roster spot. He is a potential swing tackle at the next level.
GRADE: 5th-6th Round

- via PFF:
Rouse is an experienced and well-built offensive tackle prospect with good size, length, and football intelligence for a man/gap run scheme. In pass protection, he must improve his foot speed and consistency with leverage in order to become a starter at the next level.
