Five Things: Jack Driscoll

1. Firing off the Football

The Dolphins and offensive players who get off the ball in a blink – a tandem as tried and true as peanut butter and jelly. It’s no different for Jack Driscoll. It’s been five years since he ran at the Scouting Combine, but his 1.77 time in the first 10 yards of his 40-yard dash (10-split) ranks in the 93^rd percentile of tackles all time.

2. Inside, Outside, Anywhere

The 10-split time includes Driscoll’s “get-off” ranking among tackles. Move it inside to guard and the number climbs even closer to the 99^th percentile (97^th). Driscoll’s versatility is one of the more attractive aspects of his game. The first 133 snaps of his 2023 season came outside at tackle (both left and right), and his final 41 snaps came at guard.

Driscoll’s NFL career has been split almost evenly between the two tackle positions and right guard. With 812 snaps at tackle and 551 at guard, Driscoll’s ability to do both makes him a valuable member of any line.

“I’ve always took that upon myself as the more positions I could play, the better chance I have to play on game day, and the better chance I have of making the team and playing an important role,” Driscoll told the South Florida media.

3. Pass Protection by the Numbers

Pro Football Focus credits Driscoll with 777 career pass blocking snaps. On those plays, opposing rushers have produced eight sacks, nine QB hits and 48 pressures. That gives Driscoll a pass block efficiency score of 95.1. For posterity, that number was 0.1 lower than Kendall Lamm’s PBE score from 2023 – a score that also landed Lamm among the top 30 tackles in ESPN’s pass block win rate metric.

Coming from the offensive line of Philadelphia affords a player advantages. One aspect giving Driscoll an edge was playing alongside multiple potential Hall of Fame linemen. Jason Kelce is headed to Canton one day and so too might be the offensive tackle that Driscoll filled in for in 2023, Lane…
