Cade Denhoff

Defensive line prospect with good length, a slender upper body that needs to add bulk and an athletic lower half. Good basketball player whose basketball traits show up in pads. Extremely coordinated. Hands and feet work well in concert. Plays with good balance and body control. Has the ability to be a pass rusher and a pass disruptor getting hands in throwing lanes. Uses length effectively to eat up space. High end combine athleticism. Significant upside. Lacks elite twitch and explosiveness. Needs to get stronger. Competition level leaves some question marks. High ceiling prospect who also has a lower floor than most in his ranking range. We view as a likely impact Power Five starter who has early round NFL Draft upside with the right development.
