PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Zabel is a gritty, versatile offensive lineman with experience at both guard and tackle but best projects as a starting center or guard in a zone-heavy NFL scheme. His functional athleticism, anchor ability, and football IQ make him a strong developmental starting option. However, hand placement, leverage discipline, and ability to handle speed rushers on the edge remain concerns. Ideally, he kicks inside and develops into a reliable starter within his first two years.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
High-End Starter Potential (65-69)
A player expected to become a top-tier starter within their first few years. They possess strong physical tools and good technical skills but may have some limitations in their game. With development, they can reach near-elite levels and provide consistent impact at their position.
