JOHN ROMERO
OL | (6-2 3/4, 315, 5.3e) | California
by Pro Football Weekly Drafted by: Philadelphia, Pick 26, Round 6 , Overall 192

Notes: Redshirted in 1995. Tried on both lines in '96. Stayed on offense in '97 and started four games at guard. Started all 11 games at center in '98. Missed spring drills in '99 after having shoulder surgery and was slowed almost the entire year by various injuries.

Positives: Good size and upper-body strength. Was a pretty solid Pacific-10 center in '98 who looked like he could become a prospect with a little more experience. Showed some signs of bouncing back to form in the East-West Shrine game.

Negatives: Very disappointing senior season. Did not look very quick or athletic and may have been too heavy. Gets too upright and will lose leverage. Plays top-heavy at times. Does not seem to adjust to movement very well.

Summary: Was a much better player in '98 than in '99, but injuries may have been the problem.
