Dontavius Russell NFL Draft 2019: Scouting Report for Jacksonville Jaguars' Pick

STRENGTHS

—Four-year starter in the highly competitive SEC

—Has a thick and powerful frame (6'3", 319 lbs) from top to bottom and can eat space when he plays with leverage.

—Solid play strength and can be disruptive when he comes under control with powerful and well-timed strikes.

—Bright player who holds one degree from Auburn and was working on a second.

WEAKNESSES

—A heavy-footed mover with plodding steps who will struggle to adapt his playing style to modern NFL speed.

—His pad level is a major concern and will leave him taking a ride into linebackers' laps when he's double-teamed.
