GN draft decisions: Ole Miss DT Robert Nkemdiche

Gridironnow’s Amanda Borges breaks down the pros and cons of Nkemdiche as an NFL defensive tackle.

The tackle initially played defensive end, before putting on “good weight” and moving inside.

Nkemdiche was named freshman All-SEC and first time All-SEC during his career with the Rebels. He finished his three years at Ole Miss with 98 total tackles, 19 tackles for a loss, seven sacks and five passes defended.

The defensive tackle showed his athleticism on the offensive end last year, when Ole Miss lined him up for a passing play against Tennessee-Martin.
