#15 GREGORY ROUSSEAU VS VIRGINIA (2019)

#15 GREG ROuSSEAU CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

Strengths: He is very tall, athletic, and of perfect length from a wingspan of 83-inches and 11-inch hands. He is a natural edge rusher who will create havoc from the outside with his angular frame. He is tremendously explosive with tremendous quickness from the snap of the ball to get to the backfield. He is versatile to line up all over the defensive line who will alter plays because of his ability to find the ball and make tackles. He keeps his feet moving and uses his entire frame to cause disruptions to play falling. His upfield rush is effective with his bend and suddenness to disengage from the block and make a stop. He is dangerous in a standup or with his hands down on the ground.

Weaknesses: Due to the pandemic, he opted out of the 2020 football season to contribute to his already lack of experience. He has played only one entire year after breaking an ankle in his freshman year. He will need to add more bulk and strength to his frame as bigger offensive tackles will slow him and control his game. He has flashes stopping the run but struggles more than none. He will fight longer than anticipated to fend off the blocker to get around the edge. After a sub-par pro-day, his stock dropped him out of the first round.

Draft Projection: 2nd Round (Early)

NFL Comparison: Dion Jordan (San Francisco 49ers)
