2024 Guide: What Ourlads’ NFL Scouting Services said about OMAR SPEIGHTS:

LSU | HT: 6001 | WT: 239 | 40 time: 4.65 | Arm: 3058 | Hand: 0938 | Wing: 7538

One year starter at LSU. Transferred from Oregon State in 2023. Started four years there and was first team All-Pac 12 in 2022. Has a muscular build without ideal length. Played all over the front at LSU and was used as an overhang player against some formations. Normal alignment in the box. Has above average instincts playing the run and normally fits inside gaps well. Gets downhill and can beat inside blocks with quickness. Plays with a high motor and can scrape to the alley with a tight path to the ball. Pursues to the whistle and is usually around the ball. Decent tackling skill especially in line. Wraps and drives through tackles flashing knee bend and power. Takes solid zone drops and can re-route seam releases. Keeps his head on a swivel and passes off crossers and can find the throwing lane. Finds work in a pattern read zone concept. Sees quarterback and threats and reacts to the delivery key. Can play a little out of control at times and overrun tackles on the perimeter. Lacks great agility and some hip tightness prevents him from reacting and gathering tackles in space. He doesn’t have a lot of misses however. Shorter than ideal arms show up engaging blocks. Lacks a powerful punch with hands and struggles to stack and shed. Has had trouble when confronted by blocks in the alley. Does a lot of things well and his speed and pursuit skills gives him a shot as a special team player and backup with sub package potential.

2023 Stats: 70 T, 2 QBH. Draft projection: 7th round/PFA
