Draft Scouting Report

Rating: 77.33 (Reserve/backup)

Pro Comparison: Tank Carradine

Summary

Incredibly disruptive as a pass rusher, Elijah Roberts can win with a powerful bull-rush or inside counter, and he uses hands well to consistently get off blocks. He can be a little stiff in his lateral movements but is a space-eater straight line. He's good-with-room-for-improvement against the run.

About

2024: 91.2 PFF grade ranked tied for second highest of all FBS edge defenders
2023: Second-team All-AAC after team-leading 10 sacks

Strengths

Thick, long frame with surprising juice for his size
Has variety of pass-rush moves and is consistently active from whistle to whistle
Can stand up double teams, plays with a high motor

Weaknesses

Can be a little stiff in lateral movements as a pass rusher, but sheer power makes him a problem
Will sometimes struggle to disengage from blocks vs. the run
