The 2024 NFL Draft is getting close, making it an excellent time to highlight some of the class' best players with scouting reports. Each report will include strengths, weaknesses and background information.
Here's our report on Javion Cohen.
Cohen will likely be a specific projection and transition to the next level, given his traits profile, which is founded on play strength more than athletic movement. Cohen has outstanding size, length and mass for the OG position.
His game reflects his body composition, with his strengths being physicality and toughness in confined spaces with heavy hands to control DT in the run game and in pass protection. Cohen must control the terms of engagement early in the down to be successful. When he can do that — especially in the run game — he can jar DTs with the power in his hands and move them out of the POA.
In pass protection, Cohen must control the rusher early to stay square and use his strength and overall physical presence. Given his physical toughness and competitiveness, which are always critical attributes at the OG position, Cohen will find a place in the NFL.
It would not be surprising if he develops into a starter at some point in an offense that features gap scheme concepts in the run game and an emphasis on the quick game and rhythm passing.
Cohen came out of Alabama as a four-star recruit and played his first three college seasons at Alabama, where he started in his final two seasons. In 2023, Cohen transferred to Miami and started all 12 games at LG.
