  • Excellent football IQ

  • Rarely fooled on stunts

  • Natural brute strength

  • High-level understanding of leverage

  • Quick hands in pass protection

  • Possesses a strong grip

  • Drives and finishes blocks

 

Weaknesses:


When the ball is snapped, Torrence has a tendency to stand too upright out of his stance instead of maintaining a lower pad level. As a consequence, he is not always able to set his feet to establish the base necessary to neutralize stronger pass rushers and can get slightly off balance. Even with some mobility, lateral movement is a weakness, so he will need to improve his hip flexibility if he wants to be more effective in pass protection. Torrence has good length but does not use it effectively and has a tendency to allow opposing defenders to get too close. He needs to establish a stronger punch and use his length instead of relying on his power to win battles.
