On this episode of the Real Bucs Talk Podcast, we look into the film of Buccaneers UDFA signing Jake Majors. Majors is a center out of Texas where he started over 50 games and has a chance to make the team right away..
Jake Majors, Center, Texas
No player in Texas Longhorn history has had more starts than Majors. He played in 57 career games and started all but one of them in college. In terms of experience at a major program, no one has more than, well, Majors.
As you would expect with as much experience as he has, Majors is a very smart player. He can identify stunts as a pass blocker and make calls at the line of scrimmage. He’s entering the league as a rookie, but don’t be surprised when he’s described as mature beyond his years.
The athletic tools are just okay. He isn’t especially powerful or nimble, but he’s had success in zone blocking looks. I have some doubts as to how good of a run blocker he can be in the NFL. If nothing else he can be functional, which is about as much as I could say of the Bucs previous backup center Robert Hainsey.
If he’s going to cut it in the NFL it will have to be with his pass blocking. His anchor is just okay and his arms are short, so he will likely struggle with power. But there’s a lot to be said about his intelligence and keeping your head on a swivel in pass protection.
