Strengths
- Walker is a high-motor pass rusher who shows a good feel for countering, and Walker has the functional strength to bounce off tackles and close on the quarterback with second effort.
- Flashes nimble feet to chase running backs and mobile quarterbacks to the sideline when lined up at end. Spins off blocks to get back into the play.
- He’s a high-motor player, and he shows good enough hand use, as well as a tight spin move, to win as an edge rusher.
- He’s explosive off the line of scrimmage, showing the quickness that sets blockers back on their heels.
- A savvy, versatile and instinctive edge rusher who did a little bit of everything, he was especially effective getting to the quarterback.
- He’s very instinctive when it comes to countering and solid with overall hand usage.
Weaknesses
- Walker lacks ideal length for an edge rusher, and he’d be on the small side for the interior with a little more room on his frame to add weight
- Is still a bit raw as a pass rusher and needs to diversify his repertoire of pass-rush moves.
- He lacks the speed of a chase and- tackle guy. Walker lacks twitch as a pass rusher and lacks the feet and flexibility to threaten around the edge.
