Joe Alt 40 Time

Projected 40 Time: 5.30 seconds

Joe Alt is a two-year starter at offensive tackle for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. He possesses very good height and solid weight for the offensive tackle position in the National Football League. Our projected 40 time of 5.30 seconds is slightly below the league average, but not significantly so.

Alt has a very good use of hands to lockout the defender and maintain leverage throughout the rep. Displays a solid ability to handle twitchiness off the edge and keep them in front of him. Shows a good ability to drive through defenders and open running lanes all the way into the second-level. Does a tremendous job at anchoring and handling power off the edge.

However, he has a below average contact balance to remain upright at the line of scrimmage. Inconsistent ability to handle bend and body lean off the edge. Delayed blitzes from the second-level are difficult for him to process quickly. Displays an adequate ability to recover versus power moves.
