#44 travon walker highlights

Strengths

• He is a fast, athletic, freakish, versatile, explosive, powerful, and crafty defensive lineman in this draft.
• He creates substantial mismatches wherever he lines up on the defensive line.
• He plays with a competitive ego, with a powerful motor at all times to pursue all over the field. 
• He is incredibly explosive as an EDGE rusher as he uses profound speed to power to blow past the offensive tackles. 
• He is fast, as he creates mismatch lining up at the defensive tackles and end position combining his speed and power to bullrush the blocker back into the backfield.
• He uses his hands actively to shed blocks, countering against the blockers

           to apply pressure to play.

• He will play tough against the run as he penetrates through the run gaps to blow up plays.
• He has excellent recognition and vision; he will identify the run from the pass and can disrupt with pressure. ​

​
Weaknesses:

• He will tend to rely on his speed to power to dominate his blocker and get above his pad level and forget his punch.
• He has no counter moves once getting stalled by a more effective blocker.
• He will need to find better pass rushing moves for the next level
• He does have a great bend from the EDGE and lacks the flexibility in his hips to establish the bend.
• He showed only one year of production, and will he continue to have it translate to the next level.

Draft Projection: 1st Round
