Scouting Report: Strengths
- Quick off the snap in the pass rush, Fiske has violent hands and a good feel for working inside counter moves.
- Fiske has heavy hands and uses them aggressively, rocking offensive linemen back. He shows the ability to disengage and out-grapple blockers in a phone booth.
- He has an excellent feel for working off blockers and knowing how and when to counter as the play goes on.
- Combines strength and footwork to fill holes inside, as well. Recovers from cut blocks or falling on his way to make a tackle.
- Flashes quick hands to slap away blocks, but too oft~n gets caught in the hand-fighting at the line rather than quickly disengaging.
- A high-motor pass rusher with good quickness, Fiske has a compact but wide frame and long arms.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Plays upright and struggles with leverage. Too often stonewalled at the line and doesn't show the hand strength or technique to shed or redirect blockers.
- Misses tackles, even when Fiske gets his hands on the ballcarrier. Needs to improve hand placement and technique.
- Fiske is a bit underpowered, often playing too high and struggling to hold the point of attack against double teams.
