A highly productive pass-rusher in his senior season, Markus Golden is a tough, finished football player coming out of a defensive line factory at Missouri. He's a high-motor, high-energy player with a finisher mentality. He'll anchor well in the run game and uses his hands to sort through traffic. He's a smart player in pursuit and a good tackler in the open field. Golden has the second gear to close down on the ball in space.
WEAKNESSES
An average athlete, Golden has short arms (31 u215b") and limited burst off the ball. He's built like a linebacker but moves like a defensive end.
