| Terrell Manning Scouting Report |
| Terrell Manning - North Carolina State (HT: 6-2⅛ - WT: 237) |
Positives -- Great first step, begins with plenty of explosion; good overall athlete with impressive agility, above average sideline to sideline speed, ran a 4.71-40 at the North Carolina State pro day... Very fluid hips, especially for 237 pounds; has the ability to turn to and cover the new breed of hybrid tight
ends... Plays well in coverage and has the versatility to also rush the passer... Not just a one trick pony, has multiple moves to use against blockers... Can play right now as an outside linebacker in a 4-3 or a smaller inside �backer in a three man front... With some added bulk, Manning could be a dangerous pass rusher from the outside in a 3-4... He could go earlier than most are projecting him due to his outstanding overall athleticism... Can be a solid contributor on special teams as he works his way up the defensive depth chart.
Negatives -- Needs to bulk up and get stronger at the next level... Needs to take better angles at the line of scrimmage... Not a punishing tackler, struggles to wrap smaller players up at times; will often be the first guy to reach the ball carrier but will end up not making the tackle... Gets taken out plays too easily by average blockers... Is not an elite prospect, possesses limited upside... Inconsistent production, dominated games with double digit tackles, yet had games where he is completely irrelevant against lower competition... Is being labeled as just a 4-3 weak side linebacker, which will hurt his draft stock... Missed two games early in the season with a knee injury; also suffered a knee injury in the final game of his high school career, forcing him to redshirt the 2008 season with the Wolfpack... He has the physical tools to succeed but durability could be a question mark.
