Maxwell Roy

Good-sized, broad-shouldered down defensive lineman who likely reaches a stout 300 pounds sooner than later. Put together like an athletic interior O-lineman playing with the athleticism of a difference-making interior defensive presence. Primarily plays in an odd front, providing snaps mostly at the 1- and 3-techniques. Shows good movement ability thanks to loose hips and lower-half agility. Flashes some punch power at the point of attack and often wins with functional strength. Owns knock-back power capable of knocking blockers on their heels immediately. Displays get-skinny ability to maximize gap-penetrating juice. Flashes double team-beating strength vs. high school competition. Plays with above average body control relative to size/position. Multi-sport athlete with experience in wrestling and throws events. Can improve snap anticipation and get-off consistency. Not overly long, which could limit long-term upside, especially as a pass rusher. Projects as a high-major interior stalwart who's staunch vs. the run and possesses the speed-to-power explosion to periodically affect the passing game. Could become a multi-year starter with legitimate NFL Draft potential.
