Adewale Ojomo Scouting Report |
Adewale Ojomo - Miami (FL) (HT: 6-4 - WT: 270) |
Positives -- Ideal size and fires off the ball, has the speed to get around the edge, has the skill set to be a very good pass rusher, including good top-end speed and average closing burst... Plays with good balance, can quickly change direction to avoid and side-step blocks to shoot gaps and create
pressure, good counter-moves inside... Natural length, long arms, initially stays low and does a nice job extending his arms and gaining leverage, has powerful hands, is physical at the point of attack... Strong lower body, can push and pressure the pocket and take on double teams... Disciplined in backside pursuit, holds the edge reasonably well and maintains outside containment, doesn't take himself out of plays, knows his assignments and sticks with them, strong wrap-up tackler... Quick to diagnose plays and get to the ball carrier, does good job of adjusting to screens, draws and misdirection plays... Motor is always running, hard worker, plays with a mean streak... High football IQ, has been used in multiple roles, has experience dropping into coverage, and has played some snaps at defensive tackle, can wear multiple hats in the NFL.
Negatives -- Relies too much on athleticism, technique is very raw and he's still coming into his own as a player, a project... Lacks power, doesn't generate much on contact with bull rush... Does not have much ability to avoid and disengage from blocks, engages a little high and does not utilize hands to get off blocks... Had made some spot starts earlier in his career but really just has one season's worth of starting experience, 14 career starts... Doesn't project to defensive tackle in the pros yet made the shift from defensive end to tackle following Marcus Forston's season ending knee injury in 2011... Minor durability concerns, missed the 2009 season following preseason jaw surgery stemming from a locker room right during 2009 summer camp.
