Strengths:
One of the best run-defending defensive tackles in this draft class. Showcases violent hands at the point of attack to control blockers. While playing right around 305 lbs, Tuipulotu plays much bigger than his listed weight would suggest. Plays with great leverage when taking on double teams, and has the ability to beat them as well due to his natural strength, violent hands, and athleticism. For a big-man, Tuipulotu plays with above average athleticism, lateral quickness, and first-step burst when rushing the passer. Though he does rely a lot on his power, Tuipulotu showcased an impressive snatch-pull, bull-rush, and has a motor that never stops. Used his length well versus the run and when rushing the passer. Showed high football IQ on screens and running plays to anticipate play-side movement before others. Rarely ends up on the ground, which is impressive for a sub-315 lb defensive tackle that primarily played the nose tackle position for the Trojans.
