Courtney Upshaw Scouting Report
Courtney Upshaw - Alabama (HT: 6-1½ - WT: 272)
Positives -- Excellent production as a pass rusher in the last two seasons (104 tackles, 32.5 of those for loss, 16.5 sacks, six forced fumbles)... Has great size to play outside in a 3-4 scheme, and could also be capable of rushing off the edge in a 4-3 due to athleticism and quickness, versatility is a
big plus... Is a smart player and hard worker, shows a willingness to be a team player and improve in a lot of areas... Has a pretty good repertoire of pass-rushing moves, can be seen making combination moves and setting up power/speed-rushing moves throughout the course of games... Hits with a lot of force, can wrap up and drive through most ball carriers with relative ease, drives feet at contact on most occasions... Shows good discipline and instincts, rarely gets out of position and is good at maintaining containment off the edge... Although base 3-4 teams will show interest in Upshaw due to his size and pass-rushing abilities (along with experience at the 3-4 OLB position), might be best suited with his hand in the dirt at the DE position, shows more explosion and a quicker first step from a three-point stance... High motor and versatility make him an intriguing prospect and will likely be one of the first pass rushers off the board in the 2012 Draft.
Negatives -- Has great bulk to play in a 3-4 behind a two-gap scheme, but height is a slight disadvantage, can lose sight of the ball carrier behind taller defensive linemen... Has decent speed for his size, but can look rather slow and lumbering at times, especially in pursuit... Has shorter arms than one would hope for in an edge rusher, will struggle against offensive linemen who can get into his pads at contact... Is not a quick-twitch athlete, lacks elite burst and agility, but does display a high motor and good second effort... Does not have a ton of experience in pass coverage, has good hip flexibility for his size, but is not well-suited for man-to-man coverage and can be a liability when asked to drop into coverage... Can be a little slow off the snap, is sometimes standing completely upright surveying the offense when the ball is snapped... Was arrested in 2009 for minor violent offense... Sat out Alabama's pro day due to knee tendinitis, according to CBS Sports' Rob Rang.
