Malik Reed

Strong, chiseled frame with long arms and solidly built lower half. Fiery defender who thrives in pass-rush situations. Quick first step causes problems for blockers. Sideline to sideline player with an impressive motor. Good speed to chase down ballcarriers. Does well to finish plays in the backfield and close on the football. Can hold his ground inside the box, but also has the quickness to be a nuisance off the edge. Tends to lunge when attempting tackles and could improve overall fluidity in coverage. Potential multi-year starter at Power Five level and All-Conference type performer. Could draw NFL Draft attention. Haason Reddick.
