Summary

Donovan Ezeiruaku is a smaller EDGE rusher with long limbs and a refined, technical approach to the game. He relies on a diverse set of hand moves -- cross chop, swipe and swim -- to win at the point of attack, combining them effectively with coordinated footwork. His burst is above average but not elite, and while his low center of gravity adds deceptive power, his bull rush still needs more strength to translate to the NFL.

Ezeiruaku’s athleticism is solid but not exceptional, with adequate quickness and flexibility but limited bend and twitch. Against the run, he competes hard but can be overwhelmed at the point of attack due to his smaller stature. His best fit is as a stand-up OLB in a 3-4 scheme, where added space can maximize his pass-rush repertoire and keep offensive tackles off balance.

While his physical ceiling is modest, Ezeiruaku’s advanced technique and football IQ make him a dependable contributor in the right system.
