Jerry Hughes


OLB, TCU
6-2, 250, 4.7-40
Projection: 2nd round

Great burst off the line. Anticipates snap count well and gets across the line before lineman is out of his stance. Excellent quickness and closing speed to the QB.

Uses hands well to keep blockers off his frame. Has a variety of pass rush moves. Excellent change of direction skills – redirects well after initial block. Has the agility and speed to chase down ball carriers on the perimeter. Strong and aggressive – can jolt offensive lineman back in his stance. Very instinctive – diagnoses plays quickly. Disciplined – stays at home vs. misdirection. Has the athleticism to drop into coverage although he lacks the fluid hips to turn and run – better defending passes in front of him. May lack the size to set the edge against the run. Plays with a high motor and is relentless in pursuit. Holds his own versus the double team. Pursues plays down the line. A bit of a “tweener” – can struggle vs. bigger blockers against the run.
