Scouting Report: Strengths
- He’s quick to react and locate the ball, and Adeoye shows enough speed to succeed in backside pursuit. Adeoye plays with excellent balance and a strong, flexible core, rarely ending up on the ground.
- While he has the flexibility to dip and bend under tackles, what makes him truly dangerous is his ability to counter.
- Combines excellent power with initial quickness, but one of his best attributes are his violent hands, which he uses with impressive precision.
- He chases well in pursuit, and he has the athleticism to play in space if asked to drop into coverage.
- He’s explosive off the line of scrimmage, showing the quickness that sets blockers back on their heels.
- His closing burst is outstanding, and he routinely finished plays last year. Adeoye has range and toughness as a run defender, capable of dropping anchor to set the edge and showing the acceleration to chase down the backside in pursuit.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’s not a guy who can be put on the edge every down and be expected to consistently create pressure.
- Adeoye lacks a physical element to his game. He’ll have a tough time setting the edge in the run game, and Adeoye struggles to disengage once blockers get into his chest.
- He’s often slow to react and locate the ball against the run.
