Jarran Reed – DT – Alabama
Size –
Strong Points –
Good size, long arms, very strong, has good quickness and balance to go along with adequate agility and change of direction. Good instincts, finds ball, makes plays in the run game. Use hands, shed blocks, very good competitor.
Weak Points –
Lacks speed, not a pass rusher (2.0 career sacks), limited to being a base down player at the next level
Summation –
Starting interior defensive linemen. Mostly plays both on the nose and over the guard. Has some snaps at the 5-techique. He is big, strong and powerful and a very good run down player. He is quick to find the ball, has good anticipation and makes plays in the run game. Lacks the speed, top quickness and burst to be a pass rusher. Does nothing more than push the pocket. Should be a starter at the next level but will be limited to being a rundown player only. Can play nose in a 3-4 or defensive tackle in a 4-3.

Strong Points –
Weak Points –
Not an explosive guy in that he lacks quick twitch and top end speed. Just an adequate pass rusher who is more of a bull rusher. Not good at putting moves together. Had 5.5 sacks as a freshman and has 3.0 to date this year, but they are more cleanup-type sacks.
