From now until the 2022 NFL Draft takes place, we hope to scout and create profiles for as many prospects as possible, examining their strengths, weaknesses, and what they can bring to an NFL franchise. These players could be potential top 10 picks, all the way down to Day 3 selections and priority undrafted free agents. Today, I’ll be profiling a linebacker prospect has a knack for making splash plays all over the field, yet carries a lengthy injury history with him to the league along with teams debating his best position fit.

The Good
— Closes ground quickly when playing as a run-and-chase defender
— Shows impressive tenacity and effort when in pursuit of the football
— Will throw his body into ballcarriers, chopping them down for big hits in open space
— More than comfortable playing in the slot as a nickel/dime backer in coverage
— Gets to his drops in zone coverage quickly, locating receivers crossing his space and keeps his eyes on the passer
— Has exceptional feel for zone coverage and can run with backs and tight ends in man coverage
— Can carry tight ends up the seam and will follow receivers on occasion in coverage from the slot
— Plays with a natural backpedal like a safety due to his DB background
— Sniffs out screen passes quickly near the LOS
— Has good ball skills for the position, having the hands and awareness to jump in front of passes for pass breakups and INTs
— Has a nose for the football when it comes to forcing the ball out or finding it on the ground
— Known as the emotional leader of the defense that leads both with his play as well as his communication
— Lack of size and length make it hard for him to disengage from blocks
— Will get engulfed by size when in the box as offensive linemen climb to the second level
— Was taken off the field at times on obvious run down situations
— More of a tweener build that is likely too small to be a full-time box defender but also not twitchy enough to be a full-time nickel/dime defender against slot receivers
— Will leave his feet often on open-field tackle attempts, leading to misses
— Lengthy injury history dating back to high school will likely plague his medical and turn several teams off entirely
— Is a sixth-year senior and will be 25 years old when the 2022 season starts
