◊ traits & undeveloped, untapped potential
◊ frame, size, and length
◊ gaining leverage with length at POA; does a good job with hand placement and getting inside frame of OT; active hands
◊ competitor; keeps working
– run defense is good but needs to get better; does well to keep outside contain; shows ability to work towards ball carrier while engaged and make a play on the ball still
– doesn't explode off the line but can throw off OTs timing with stutter steps & unpredictability
– rushing the passer without a plan but tries to affect the pocket however he can – mostly going for strip sacks
– pass rush repertoire is limited; effective speed rush when he decides to burst off the line; has an inconsistent spin move & ability for speed-to-power
– vision, awareness, & play recognition
– doesn't bend well
– pad level gets too high too often
– limited playing experience; first year playing football was in 2017 and only played in 20 games at Michigan
»» BOOM OR BUST: Ojabo is traits & potential clothed in inexperience & extremely raw ability...aka PROJECT. He is not a ready-made or immediate impact player in the NFL and it could be 3+ years before we truly know what he is or could be. Approach with cautious optimism.
