Struggles against the run and could use another year but due to being a foreign student he isn’t eligible for NIL money and as a projected first rounder can’t blame him.
He has the potential to go that high but I personally doubt it.
He’s a legitimate first rounder though.
He’s raw and learning but he’s shown a progression that NFL teams love. His ceiling is high.
However his size means that he’s most likely only going to appeal to teams that run a 3-4. Where he will ultimately be an OLB.
He’s only had one good season and I think that hurts his chances of going top 10. Add in the fact that he’s raw and will only appeal to 3-4 teams and I’d say it’s much more likely he goes mid round 1.
But I think his growth as a player will convince a 3-4 team to take him round 1.
His run defense needs a lot of work. I could see one of the top-tier teams drafting him as a pass-rushing specialist, which is really a position of luxury.
