Jalen Catalon NFL Draft 2025: Scouting Report for UNLV S
HEIGHT: 5'11"
WEIGHT: 205
POSITIVES
— Physical player who flies around the field with a high motor. Excels in the run game where he displays the functional strength and aggression to play close to the line of scrimmage.
— Triggers quickly to what he sees, tracking the ball with great leverage and angles. Shows the athleticism and speed to close ground on ball-carriers.
— Uses his hands very well to take on and shed blockers; while also showing to be a physical tackler who runs through ball-carriers and is a secure tackler.
— Very good in coverage as a zone defender. Does a good job of reading the quarterback's eyes and attacking the ball in the air with anticipation.
