Keldric Faulk Scouting Report
Keldric Faulk is a versatile edge rusher with a physical, violent temperament that also has high-end upside as a pass rusher.
Draft Grade: Round 2 - Winning Starter
Strengths:
Run Defense:At this point in his career, Faulk appears to have the physical traits and technique that translate to him being an immediate high-end defender against the run at the edge position.
Alignment-Versatile: Faulk can align in any alignment from 0-tech to 5-tech along the defensive front and be impactful.
Physical Temperament: Part of Faulk's success is because he plays with a violent temperament and will seek high-impact collisions to set a physical tone.
Prototype Build/Length:Faulk has a frame that will allow him to play in multiple alignments. He can put weight on to fit a different position along the defensive line or drop weight to play another position along the defensive front.
Concerns:
Elite Athleticism:Does Faulk have the elite explosiveness and quickness to consistently win around the edge against high-end athletic NFL OTs?
Handling Double Teams:There are reps where Faulk is displaced off the line of scrimmage against double teams.
