A closer look at Philadelphia’s third pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
With the 2025 NFL Draft over, it’s time for some film rooms on the Philadelphia Eagles’ rookie class. I will try to get to all 10 draft picks and the UDFAs over the next few weeks. Loads of scouting reports will say very similar things, so I have tried to include film clips to back up everything and I will talk about the player’s fit with the Eagles at the end of the piece. I managed to get the All22 for several rookies, but I can’t share those clips on my Twitter accounts (or I risk getting blocked), so I’ve used a few other accounts here. Let’s go!
You can check out my podcast feed here to hear more from me. I have a Patreon linked to my podcast if you want to support me further. Due to being unable to share All22 on Twitter, I am doing All22 watch-alongs on every Eagles’ rookie on the Patreon, which is really cool!

+ He plays hard every snap and has a crazy high-motor. A few of his sacks come from not giving up and continuing to get after the quarterback. He has a relentless energy to split through gaps and bulldoze his way through. It doesn’t always look pretty, but it’s effective.
+ When he plays with good leverage he has a really strong anchor and can be hard to move. Holds his ground well with heavy hands and good block recognition. His experience playing as a nose tackle will help him develop long-term, even if this isn’t where he ends up playing.
+ Can play multiple spots (nose, 3-tech, 4i) and fits a variety of fronts. Turn on the Ohio State film and after 10 minutes, you have already seen him in several different positions. If you look at all his sacks here, you can see him lining up in a variety of positions.
+ He has developed several effective pass rush moves (swipe, club/swim) and he has incredibly physical and aggressive hands. When you watch him play you notice how strong his hands are. His swipe move is used frequently.
+ Ankle flexibility and bend are super impressive. He can bend enough to finish the play after getting early pressure.
+ From everything I’ve read, he’s a team captain, respected leader, and known for being coachable and detail-focused.
+ He tested very well at the NFL Combine, showing better athleticism than expected. The numbers jump out.
+ He’s very good at moving laterally and stopping the run (in particular outside zone runs). He does a great job staying square to the LOS whilst moving laterally and finding the ball carrier. You see this exact play in his film, a lot!
- He doesn’t always show quickness or explosiveness in games, despite very good testing numbers. I don’t see the same athlete on film as he tested on...
