Jerry DT Ole Miss #98 |
| Ht:
6'1
Wt: 290
| |
| Strengths: |
| An excellent athlete for an interior
lineman. Quick off the snap. Shows the ability to make plays in the backfield
(18 tackles for loss as a senior, t-11th in the nation). Plays with a motor that
never quits. |
| Weaknesses:
|
| Height and overall
size are only adequate; doesn't have the ability to play nose tackle at the next
level. Occasionally gets pushed around too easily by bigger offensive linemen.
|
| Comments: |
| Brother, John, plays offensive line
for Ole Miss. Cousin is former NFL linebacker Dwayne Rudd. Jerry lacks the size
to fit into all defensive systems, but he has a good combination of strength and
athleticism which will allow him to be an effective three-technique lineman. He
may even be athletic enough to play defensive end in a 3-4 system. He should be
a mid to late first round selection. |
