| Adrian Hamilton Scouting Report |
| Adrian Hamilton - Priarie View A&M; (HT: 6-2 - WT: 255) |
Positives -- Led the nation with 20.5 sacks; joined Chris Gocong and Robert Mathis as the only players to record more than 20 sacks in a season... Looks like a NFL player, has a chiseled physique with little body fat; also helped his cause by running a 4.70-40 at his pro day... Great athlete; is definitely athletic
enough to play in a 3-4 defense and of course has the pass rush ability that teams look for... Excellent speed rush, has a great first step and can bust past any tackle that stands in his way... Has a nice spin move that could be fine tuned but should do the trick as well... Has a good shoulder dip move when going around an offensive tackle; his athleticism allows him to get really low but still maintain his balance and speed... Has a great motor; relentless pass rusher and tore up his competition using it... When he gets a sack the quarterback feels it the next day; a vicious but clean hitter.
Negatives -- The biggest worry about Hamilton is probably his level of competition; played low level FCS football and it's a legitimate question whether his production can translation to the next level... A little bit undersized standing at only 6-2... Is strictly a 3-4 OLB, not nearly big enough to play defensive end in the 4-3 except in obvious passing situations... Dropping into coverage will be a big issue for him; has never done it before and must if he wants to stick... A coach is going to have to spend some extra time with him to basically retool him as a player... Needs to learn that offensive lineman will be able to pick up on his speed rush and will need to have at least a respectable bull rush... Needs to polish his technique and use his hands to disengage a blocker.
