Ourlads' Profile:

2015 Guide: What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about EDDIE GOLDMAN: Florida State, 6037 336 4.95. Junior entry from Washington, DC. Gifted athlete who has all of the physical traits that teams want out of a defensive tackle. Size, speed, flexibility, coordination are all there. Goldman often under-produced considering his ability. He has shown glimpses of being a terror to block inside. Very quick off the snap and can bull rush the strongest of pass blockers deep into the pocket. High potential athlete but still needs a lot of work on some of the finer, mental aspects of the game. Thick from head to toe. Long arms and a wide frame, holds his weight comfortably. Explosive out of his stance. Stays below the pads of the blocker, consistently winning the leverage battle. Strong, heavy hands that are very functional. Aggressive at the point of attack. Shows the strength to anchor his position. Handles the double teams to keep linebackers clean. Effective bull rusher. Creates a tremendous amount of force to press the pocket. Can get into a quarterback’s step up space quickly. Has the quickness to jump out of his stance and into the backfield. Can carry blockers into the pocket. He struggles to shed blocks if he doesn’t get the initial advantage off the snap. Lacks speed in pursuit, not a space player. Has lapses in concentration. Won’t read blocks and is often found out of position. Creates big cutback lanes at times. 2014 stats: 35 T, 8 TFL, 4 sacks, 1 QBH, 1 FF. Medical exclusion at Combine, right ankle. No lifting, his choice. First/second round. (A-33 1/8, H-10 1/8, BP-DNP, 10-DNP).
