  • His motor is excellent, and he’s quick to locate the ball and make plays against the run.
  • He has an excellent feel for working off blockers and knowing how and when to counter as the play goes on.
  • Finau is strong enough in the lower body to hold up at the point of attack, and he displays a good feel as a grappler in the phone booth, consistently getting blockers off-balance before sending them to the ground.
  • He’s extremely thick through the lower body, and he uses his natural leverage to win at the point of attack, often requiring a double team.
  • Strong tackler. Has good power in hands and can anchor, shed, and chase.

  • Isn't able to consistently shed blocks and makes plays in the hole.
  • He’s stiff as an athlete, as Finau lacks the flexibility to truly threaten the edge.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
