Con's:
- Has burst & linear speed, but disappointing agility. Stiff hipped when changing direction
- Doesn’t have the bend or dip to beat tackles round the corner – power rusher, not speed rusher
- Moments of dubious mental processing, particularly versus the run. Loses the play, plays the wrong assignment
- Fierce tackler but arms don’t hold strength to bring down ball carriers at full extension
- Pass rush moves and combos still developing – bullrush very much his go to move
The Verdict:
“Sometimes you find yourself watching Kingsley Enagbare’s tape and wondering when something is going to happen; There are spates in contests where he seems almost lost despite the ferocity and urgency he plays with to be a factor on each play. But turn on the Tennessee tape and you’ll get a feel for what the ceiling of Enagbere is as a prospect; a wrecking ball with pocket disrupting capability that is still a little rough around the edges but has the capacity to be much more. Enagbare will get scout’s attention because he has the play power to be a factor against the run as much as he does the pass, which not all prospects can say as a borderline day two/three pick. You can see the development through his four years in Columbia, and there is some upside to get excited about here.”
