General Info:

Abraham attended Archbishop Murphy High School in Everett, Washington. He is one of seven children, being the second oldest. He played both ways in high school, collecting 31 tackles and 15 sacks his senior year. He was a consensus three-star prospect. Lucas also played basketball all four years of high school averaging 16 points and 14 rebounds a game. The former Cougar redshirted his first season at WSU due to him being about 260 coming out of high school. As a redshirt freshman, he started all 13 games at right tackle and was named 2^nd team all-conference, and allowed 19 pressures. In 2019 he again started every game at right tackle and again was 2^nd team All-Conference. This time he allowed 17 pressures and three sacks. For the shortened 2020 season he started every game at right tackle again and allowed four pressures and one sack in four games. For his final season in 2021, he had his best season overall. He started every game again, only allowed nine pressures and 0 sacks. For his career, he had 11 penalties. Lucas also went to the 2022 Senior Bowl and the 2022 NFL Combine.

Positional Skills:

Strengths

Abraham has great size and good length at 6’6 315 and with 33 7/8^th inch arms. He uses his length well. He could conceivably learn how to play guard. Lucas knows how to use his hands independently. Lucas also shows quick and smooth feet in his kick slide. He is so smooth in his pass sets that it is almost boring to watch. He slides and mirrors effortlessly. Something rare that you will see is Washington State will pull him across the line to lead block for a back or receiver. Lucas knows how to position himself between the defender and whoever has the ball. He can get to the second level with ease. The redshirt senior does a good job of keeping his head on a swivel and ID’ing defenders and which to block. When a pass rusher wants to take the edge he lets them have it and just lets their momentum take them past the pocket. Held his own against Kayvon Thibodeaux in 2021.

Weaknesses

He does struggle with his anchor at times, allowing defenders to push him back in the pocket. He only has experience at right tackle. He does hunch over a little in his stance. His butt can get a high in his stance as well. His length is not ideal at just under 34”. He tends to be more of a positional blocker in the run game, than a bury you in the dirt type of blocker. The former Washington State Cougar drops his hands off the snap in pass pro. He will over-set sometimes when trying to protect against fast edge rushers which will leave open the chance for them to counter to the inside.

Fit with the Packers:

With a big hole at right tackle, Abraham Lucas would be an almost perfect fit for the Packers due to his high-level athleticism, experience, and play style. He would fit well with Green Bay’s outside zone-blocking scheme. You would like to see him with a straighter back when he is in his stance and improve his anchor as well since NFL teams and pass rushers will try to use that against him. Lucas also needs to bring his hands up a few inches off the snap when in pass pro, that will allow him to strike quickly and with more explosion/power. With his athleticism, he could probably even play some left tackle in a pinch. If they didn’t feel comfortable starting him as a rookie, he could be a swing tackle with some practice while he spent his rookie year improving his anchor.
