​#42 paddy fisher vs wisconsin (2020)

#42 Paddy fisher top 50 plays

Strengths: He is an aggressive linebacker that will come downhill to stop the run. He will attack the gaps between and take on the blocker and peel off to stuff the run. He has good strength and athleticism to wiggle past the blockers to make negative yardage plays. His diagnosis of plays recognizing the run is unbelievable how not fooled with play-action. He has the skill level to play in pass coverage and will disrupt receivers' route with jams. His read and reaction skill is excellent as he can get in the passing lanes to bat down balls.​
​
Weaknesses: He will need to work on shedding blocks when engaging with the blocker. He will get above the pad level and lose his leverage and not be able to make plays. He will struggle in traffic in locating the ball immediately. He has questionary speed and will struggle to get the edge or cover speedy backs or tight ends. 

Draft Projection: 7th Round - Priority Free Agent

NFL Comparison: ​Ja'Whaun Bentley (New England Patriots)
