Ourlads' Profile:

2015 Guide: What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about MARIO EDWARDS JR: Florida State, 6025 279 4.85. Junior entry from Denton, TX. The former five star recruit has been used in a wide variety of ways. He can play with his hand in the dirt outside the tackle or across from the guard. He can play standing up. Has shown ability in coverage against tight ends. He has been used as a lead blocker near the goal line and even been given the ball on fake punts. Athletes like this are rare. The power he shows on the field is top tier. Very functional strength and surprising ability to cover ground in a short space. Possesses an elite combination of size, strength, power, and quickness. Versatile defender who wore several hats for Seminoles’ strong defensive unit. Can fit into different schemes. Flows towards the action and makes quick reads when engaged with a blocker. Plays with a low center of gravity and leverage. Explosive in a short space. Powerful, violent, heavy hands. Controls the blocker consistently and shows the ability to free himself up. Consistent aggression and anger. Pursues well with proper angles. Can blow up a trap with that combination of quickness and power. Effective bull rush. Has the size and length to play inside or out in any scheme. 2014 stats: 44 T, 11 TFL, 3 sacks, 2 QBH, 2 FF. Edge speed:left 2.38, right 2.46. OSR:21/31. Second/third round. (A-33 1/4, H-10 7/8, BP-32, 10-1.76).
