| Brett Roy Scouting Report |
| Brett Roy - Nevada (HT: 6-2⅞ - WT: 275) |
Positives -- One of the hardest workers in this entire class; the total package in terms of intangibles, has a distinct quality that makes him a leader... Loves football; will keep playing until all 32 teams say no and then he'll probably head to the CFL... Great motor; will never give up on a play, a very sneaky guy
in pursuit; will always track the play and is looking to knock the ball from a player's arms... Impact hitter; drives his entire body through guys on tackles and they'll need a second or two to regroup before they get up... Very versatile player; played some outside and inside linebacker, in addition to defensive end and defensive tackle at Nevada, could end up at fullback in the NFL; some may look at that as a player without a position but he can save you one or two roster spots for another position due to his versatility... Will be able to provide an impact immediately on special teams while he learns the playbook... Has good arm extension and can disengage with his strong hands... Good bend with playing on the edge; can also set the corner on running plays and make backs hesitate.
Negatives -- More stocky than long; doesn't have a prototypical frame for any of the positions he has played... Not an NFL level athlete; relies a lot on his work ethic and his motor... There are some questions about his overall intelligence; it may take him a little bit longer than normal to learn the playbook... Incredibly undersized for a defensive tackle; probably wouldn't last long there... Doesn't have a go to pass rush move; not really fast enough for an effective speed rush and his bull rush leaves a lot to be desired... His lateral quickness is lacking; does a good job attacking up the field but not really a sideline to sideline player... Not the strongest player; can struggle when engaged with a physical lineman who can match his motor and drive.
