​GAME FILM
#78 DANIEL FAALELE VS OHIO ST (2021)

#78 daniel faalele highlights

Strengths  
  • ​​He is a giant with a massive bulky body where he looks like a barbarian.
  • He has a solid trunk, good width, and will impossible to be moved.
  • He has a good punch when he extends his long arms and knocks the defenders around
  • He can wipe out two gaps in a single block with his width at the point of attack.
  • He has outrageous power in the run game while pile blocking.
  • He uses good leverage in space and is athletic enough to seal the edge and get up to the second level of defenders.
  • His early career in playing rugby provided him with excellent skills that translated to the American game.

Weaknesses
  • Still learning the game and will need to retain the skills at the next level.
  • He will get outside his pad level by reaching out to the defender, causing himself to be off-balanced.
  • He will be gullible against speed rushers does not have the quickness to cut off-angle. 
  • Pass blocking skill will need to refine; offers little in that area.
  • He will be required to shed some weight to get quicker.


Draft Projection: 2nd Round

NFL Comparison: Trent Brown (San Francisco 49ers)
