Jordan Banks

Has the frame to play inside linebacker but could easily bulk up and play more off the edge to take advantage of his natural pass-rushing ability. A versatile defender who can play multiple spots in college depending on his size and weight. Played both inside and outside linebacker as well as rush end - and even as a three-tech as a junior. Flashes a quick first step, can get around the edge and has excellent closing speed. Plays with a relentless motor, does a nice job getting off blocks and can make tackles on plays run away from him. Is tough at the point of attack, gets off blocks and is a finisher. Good with his hands. As he continues to improve his overall athleticism and can focus on one position, his game should really improve. Projects as a impact upper-tier Power 5 starter and future mid-round NFL draft pick.
