Mike Neal DT Purdue

Ht: 6'3
Wt: 294
Strengths:
Impressive athlete for an interior lineman. Prototypical size and quickness for the three-technique position. Could also play defensive end in a 3-4 scheme. Truly elite upper body strength. Top intangibles. Very smart on and off the field.
Weaknesses:
Suffered a torn labrum in 2007. Missed most of 2008 with a torn ACL.
Comments:
If not for injury concerns, Neal would be a legitimate top-50 prospect. He has the ability to consistently get into the backfield, even when double teamed. He is a very impressive athlete for a lineman. He's a very similar, but less polished, version of Gerald McCoy.
