From now until the 2020 NFL Draft takes place, we hope to showcase as many prospects as possible and examine both their strengths and weaknesses. Most of these profiles will feature individuals that the Pittsburgh Steelers are likely to have an interest in, while a few others will be top-ranked players. If there is a player you would like us to analyze, let us know in the comments below.
#55 Jason Strowbridge/DL/6’4 267 lbs
The Good:
- High motor
- Strong hands and power allow him to swim through blockers
- Diagnoses run direction fairly well
- Plays with low pad level, maintains leverage by attacking beneath blocker’s shoulder pads
- Uses hands well to disengage
- Moves well laterally across the line of scrimmage to blow up runs to the outside
- Good upper body power
The Bad:
- Needs to show more consistent ability to hold his gap responsibility
- Tape far less explosive than his showing at the Senior Bowl
- Dropped from 285 lbs to 267 lbs, position fit is a question mark
- Listed as EDGE at Senior Bowl but had limited reps coming off EDGE in college
- Lacks burst on tape
- More finesse than power when it comes to lower body ability
- Really late off the snap at times
Bio:
- 2019: 44 tackles, 6 tackles for a loss, 2.
