| Trevor Guyton Scouting Report |
| Trevor Guyton - California (HT: 6-2⅜ - WT: 268) |
Positives -- Relatively safe 5-technique prospect due to his size, strength, motor, run stopping ability and coming from California's 3-4 defense... Just an adequate pass rusher but can push and pressure the pocket with natural strength; also, has experience playing nose in Cal's odd-man front and can
apply pressure inside... Good, but not great, first step and initial quickness, fires off the ball low, is violent with his big, strong hands to fight off blocks and keep himself clean, gets under the pads of linemen and works through blockers, can penetrate with his bull rush, regularly drives linemen into the backfield in one-on-one situations... Good balance and change of direction agility; good piano player, maintains his ground while moving down the line to the ball... Above average versus the run, can hold the point against double teams, has the lower body strength to anchor and clog up running lanes... Hard worker who plays with a great motor and possesses a mean streak, very accountable, doesn't miss tackles in traffic and will chase plays down from behind and to the sideline... Has experience playing at both the 5-technique and nose in Cal's 3-4 scheme, projects as either a 4-3 under tackle or 3-4 DE (5-technique) at the next level... California has produced first round defensive linemen in each of the past two seasons (Tyson Alualu in 2010 and Cameron Jordan in 2011).
Negatives -- Not an elite athlete nor pass rusher, limited athlete with inconsistent hand usage, can be slow to get off blocks and mobile quarterbacks will elude him, has just 10 career sacks and never more than 4.5 in a season, isn't a finished product as a pass rusher and possesses a limited arsenal of moves; average closing speed, needs to throw his hands up in passing lanes if he can't get to the quarterback... Can be a non-factor versus stronger linemen; Guyton has good potential but lacks consistency... Can be overaggressive at times and will be fooled by misdirection plays, is very instinctual, but will take false steps and get slightly out of position when anticipating incorrectly, overall range is limited due to lack of athleticism... Did not start until the final four games of his junior season.
