Lorenzo Mauldin NFL Draft 2015: Scouting Report, Grade for Jets' 3rd-Round Pick

STRENGTHS
Louisville edge-rusher Lorenzo Mauldin passes the eyeball test on and off the field. He's a high-motor, long defender with the first-step quickness and burst to make plays in the backfield. His straight-line speed is impressive in a short area, and he combines that with a high football IQ to make plays in the run and pass game. He's shown enough agility to bail into the flats in coverage and can run with backs and tight ends. Mauldin uses his length well in both the run and pass games and has been a productive player on all three downs.
