Very underrated DT

[Xavier187]

Neil Farrell Jr LSU

Strengths

• Played with good leverage, even on the nose, despite average bulk. Hustle defender with a good bull rush inside that can close and get home when quarterbacks leave the pocket.
• Combines strength and footwork to fill holes inside, as well. Recovers from cut blocks or falling on his way to make a tackle.
• Has the ability to create a pile in the middle, even showing the ability to split the occasional double-team. However, is just as often blown off the ball due to his high pad level.
• Can make the impressive chest-to-chest bear hug tackle in the hole due to his ability to wreak havoc in the backfield.
• Plays with leverage at the point of attack whether inside or outside. Keeps eyes in the backfield when inside; moves linemen to either side with strong hands.

In practice today was relentless. Motor never stopped and pushed everyone that was put in front of him

No offense, but one of our issues is we are always drafting underrated DT’s.
