Stats

Elevator pitch

Grant is a large, physical presence along the interior with impressive athletic ability relative to his size who possesses the explosiveness, power and anchor strength to overwhelm blockers and reset the line of scrimmage but needs to continue to improve his pad level.

Strengths

Big body with very good size…Good anchor strength and power to create a new line of scrimmage…Rarely gets pushed well off his base…Does a great job of reading and feeling blocking schemes and angles and quickly adjusting his body to the flow…Solid get-off and can explode between gaps and through solo blockers…Flashes the ability to club/swim past blockers…Impressive movement skills to work down the lineand pursuit ability…Gets his hands up when he can’t get home to knock down passes.

Weaknesses

Flashes a powerful bull rush one-on-one, but he lacks refined rush repertoire and plays with high pad level…Strong initial punch, but hand placement can be erratic, leaving chest open…Can struggle to disengage blocks at times.
