Ourlads' Profile:

2020 Guide: What Ourlads' Scouting Services said about JONATHAN GREENARD: Florida, 6034 263 4.87. One-year starter, Hiram, GA. Spent four years at Louisville, starting for one, before grad-transferring to Florida. Saved his best football for 2019, where he earned first-team All SEC honors after leading the conference with 15.5 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks. Has the kind of length and fast twitch play that will give tackles a headache off the edge. He plays with the proper blend of speed and power and should have plenty more bulk to add to his wide frame. When it comes to total production, his last two real seasons accrued 31 TFL and 16.5 sacks over 25 games across two different conferences. There are some power issues, notably against the run, but this is the kind of athlete and person a team wants to add to their team. His relentless, hard working style combined with quality tape and physical gifts make him a safe bet to be a productive player. Has an ideal frame for the outside, capable of adding bulk over time. Long arms and a bendy lower half. Plays under the pads of the blocker consistently. Crafty, fast, and strong hands. Can take advantage of the initial positional win. Jumps the snap well. Relentless style with quick change of direction and a nose for the ball. Reads the action and blocker simultaneously. Takes the right angles and will close the gap. Plays faster than he times when he smells the ball. Strong finisher, has a closer’s mentality. Needs to add bulk to handle every-down duty. Struggles to free himself from a strong and long blocker if he doesn’t jump the snap. Has had some durability issues including a wrist injury that kept him out of all of 2018. Inconsistent snap to snap, will disappear for stretches. 2019 stats: 52 T, 15.5 TFL, 9.5 sacks, 4 PBU, 8 QBH, 3 FF, 1 FR (1 TD), 1 INT. Edge speed:left 2.01, right 2.14. OSR:11/25. Fourth/fifth round. (A-34 7/8, H-9 1/4, BP-22, 10-1.72).
