GAME FILM
#21 Chazz Surratt vs miami (2020)

#21 Chazz Surratt senior highlights

Strengths: He is an athletic player that plays with a high motor and is very cerebral. He has very fluid hips, plays with a twitch, with sideline-to-sideline range. He can plug the run lanes and get out to the edge and seal. He can diagnose plays well and able to get to the ball carrier to make the tackle. He showed explosiveness when needed to make big stops. He has impressive speed as a pass rusher to disrupt the pass protection in the pocket. In coverage, he can cover the running back or tight ends. He can drop in coverage and make plays by breaking on the ball. His quarterback instincts factor in on his read of the receivers and backs.​

Weaknesses: He is a linebacker who is still learning the position and development and shows some inconsistencies in his play. He can get flat-footed at times and will look lost. He needs to add more bulk to his frame to play inside at the next level. He will get caught up in the blocks and struggle to disengage from the blocker. He is limited with his leverage at the point-of-attack, another reason why he will need to get stronger. 

Draft Projection: 3rd Round
