Panthers Select Midwestern St. OG Amini Silatolu (Rd.2, No.40)

[SteveRobWhatever]

With the 40th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Panthers select Amini Silatolu, OG (Midwestern State). Silatolu is a quick athlete for a man of his stature and gets off the line with a noticeable quickness. He is urgent in his play, and once engaged with a defender can keep him covered up for an extended period of time. He is a leg-driver who doesn't get a lot of movement but keeps his man occupied. He is extremely mobile and an active puller who can get outside, move upfield and locate his blocks. He can slide well in pass protection and will likely be a guard who can sit and stop rushers in their tracks in the pass game at the next level.
