Player Comparison
Zach Allen / Arizona
Prototypical height, frame, and mass – exactly how defensive coordinators, regardless if it is an even or an odd man front, want their interior defensive linemen to look like. Plays with a wide base and excellent bend. Very good quick twitch displayed – typically the first player to react at the snap. Very effective hands fighter - shoots strong hands to control the OL – and then sheds the block to secure the tackle. Strong and has a very good bull rush. Quick and agile and can slice through gaps in the line impressively for a man his size. Tough, strong, and quick enough to defeat double teams, which he faces on a regular basis. Lines up at Edge in certain alignments and does not look out of place, although he does not have the bend to play outside full-time. Must be planned for or he will destroy the blocking assignments of the IOL. Perhaps the most likely player in the 2025 NFL Draft to play up to expectations as a rookie. Top 10 lock in April’s draft.
