Draft Scouting Report

Rating: 88.60 (Pro Bowl potential)

Pro Comparison: Breeland Speaks

Summary

Walter Nolen has the size and athleticism to play multiple positions along the defensive line. He shows good flexibility to bend, dip and get under blockers, but also plays high at times. With upper body strength, Nolen is able to hold gaps and shows pass-rush moves to get into gaps. There are times he could play with more urgency, and his secondary action off contact is only average.
