Share

Yannick Ngakoue (DL/LB), Maryland

6’2” | 252 lbs.

2015 stats:

37 tackles, 14.5 TFL, 13 sacks, FF

Projection:

6th Round

Scouting Report:

"Lacks the desired height and length from an edge player, but does have the athleticism and production teams like. A deep dive into the tape reveals very few "instant wins sacks" and his short strides prevent him from threatening the edge as often as you might expect. While Ngakoue appears to have the traits of an upfield player, he was asked to set edges at Maryland. His production from 2015 will intrigue teams, but he is a work in progress who needs a more developed skill set as a pass rusher if he wants to become a factor in the NFL as a starter." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
