Brandon Cisse Scouting Report
Cisse does not profile as a boundary cornerback. He may be better served as a safety or a nickel who can shut down the slot and play in the box to use his natural athleticism. He can also be utilized in a STAR role and be deployed anywhere on the field as a “jack of all trades” type of player.
Jalon Kilgore Scouting Report
Jalon Kilgore is a beautiful blend of size and speed in the secondary to truly dominate any kind of matchup. His profile will likely be better served at the safety position in the NFL with his lack of transitional ability and his quick trigger. He has the skill to be either a safety or a cornerback, but he has a higher ceiling at safety.
Nick Emmanwori Scouting Report
Nick Emmanwori is an athletic anomaly, even in today’s NFL. He has unmatched movement ability and can do it all on the football field. He may not be the ideal man coverage player against receivers but he can shut down tight ends. Additionally, he is deployed as a missile at the line of scrimmage to get after the quarterback. He should be seen as a starter in the NFL within his first two seasons in the league.
Kyle Kennard Scouting Report
Kyle Kennard is an explosive athlete on the edge who brings great measurables. He has plenty of pass rushing moves and can win in a variety of ways. Whether it is with speed or strength, Kennard has found ways to get after the quarterback. He needs to improve as a run defender in order to be seen as a “do it all” player, but he has plenty of potential.
Jordan Burch Scouting Report
Jordan Burch is a powerful edge rusher who can win in a variety of ways. He can come into the NFL and play a majority of snaps right away as he is an effective pass rusher and run defender.
TJ Sanders Scouting Report
TJ Sanders is a playmaker on the interior. He is stout in the run game and a dynamic pass rusher, making him a three-down player. Sanders will look to have more than just a depth rotational role and can make a big impact on the interior of an NFL defensive line.
Zacch Pickens Scouting Report
Zacch Pickens has been the main man on the interior of the Gamecocks’ defensive line since he was a freshman. Pickens is able to go from a traditional nose tackle all the way to occasionally playing the 5-tech on the edge. Zacch Pickens has been a consistent and productive player for South Carolina. He is very strong, 1-on-1 matchups are rarely effective with Pickens as his violent hands and strong base sheds blockers with ease.
