2. High on smarts and loyalty
Sometimes it isn't mentioned enough how smarts are helpful on the football field. That holds particularly true for lineman who often have to understand complex protection schemes and thwart scheming defenses. Solder appears to be one of the bright bulbs, graduating from Colorado in May 2010 with a degree in evolutionary and ecological biology with a 3.52 grade point average. He played the last season at Colorado as a graduate student with a scholarship sponsored by the NFL. He told reporters at the combine, "I was just too loyal. I felt like I signed up for five years, and that's what I did."
