Rhoads on Scoggins:“
Patrick Scoggins is a road grader. It's the simplest way to describe him. He latches on, he doesn't release and he finishes his blocks. His physical presence will be very welcomed into our offensive line. He will have to learn the center position if indeed we think that is a spot for him, but he can play either guard spot and has the ability to learn the snap and step and help us there if that's what's needed.”
