STRENGTHS
A flexible, quick defensive end in the 4-3 defense, Ryan Russell passes the eyeball test at 6'4" and 269 pounds. He uses his 33 ⅜-inch arms well to lock out blockers and has good power at the point of attack in the run game. He's a pursuit player with a good motor and the change of direction/lateral agility teams want from a 6-technique end.
WEAKNESSES
It's easy to walk away from Purdue film thinking Russell should do more with the talent he has. His production and athletic testing were underwhelming. Russell doesn't play with the mean streak you want from a defender and can too easily be taken out of a play. You'd really like to see him fight to redirect, but he doesn't. He's a potential over production player.
