Tony Ugoh
Carry on the fires of his rookie season.
Skills are there and he’s proven competent of emerging. Be patient he’ll be a good one.
Ugoh has an athletic frame with long arms that give him an edge in all facets as a blocker.
He improved his technique as a rookie and started to show confidence late in the season.
Mudd has worked closely with his pupil and should have a Pro Bowler in Ugoh by 2010.
Ugoh was brilliant last season considering he wasn’t expected to be thrown to the wolves right away.
Indy gave him very little tight end help early in the year and confide him with Manning’s blindside on Day One.
The area where the second-rounder did struggle at times was in run-blocking.
Ugoh took a little while to fully understand the timing of the Colts’ stretch handoff, and he initially looked uncomfortable in space. However, this changed as the year wore on.
Heading into this season, Ugoh remains an extremely gifted athlete under the auspices of an extremely gifted O-line coach (Howard Mudd).
He’ll only continue to improve.
