Aamil Wagner NFL Draft Scouting Report
Aamil Wagner is a high-risk, high-reward prospect with fantastic upside as a long-term option on the offensive line.
Draft Grade: Round 5 - Scheme Specific Contributor
Strengths:
Length: Wagner possesses elite reach that he utilizes well. It’s the staple of his game, as he’s able to take the air out of the rush with his assertiveness and overwhelming extension.
Growth Potential:Wagner is a lean 300-pounder who’s got the ideal frame to build mass on. He’s broad and long with great body composition.
Hands: Does a phenomenal job playing through his hands, using his length to neutralize defenders. He has no issue accurately and intently fitting his hands in both phases.
Base: Wagner uniquely does a good job of maintaining great structural integrity with a coiled and sturdy base in both phases. Whether it’s setting back or moving to the second level, his base is consistent and helpful for his game.
Concerns:
Rawness as an Athlete: Wagner is somewhat of an awkward athlete—high-cut and a little tight-gated. Lacks twitch. I didn’t love the way he moved. Needs more foot quickness and bend.
Run-Game Fundamentals:Wagner struggles to engage defenders with the proper posture, bend, and body shape needed to displace. He plays high and struggles to close space.
Physicality: Wagner lacks the violence and play-to-play physicality he’ll need to be a starting-caliber pro.
