Scouting Report: Strengths

• His closing burst is outstanding, and Tuimoloau routinely finished plays last year. He 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.
• He has strong upper body and uses his hands well, though there is room to further utilize his length and hands in the pass rush.
• Plays with exceptional balance and body control, showing off a nasty spin move to counter his speed, with the natural instincts to know when to use it.
• Tremendous explosion; accelerates low with power. Relentless blindside pursuit; tracks down ballcarriers across the field.
• He’s best right now against the run, playing with a low pad level despite his relatively tall frame, and he has the violent hands to win at the point of attack.
• While he has the flexibility to dip and bend under tackles, and ability to counter, further development of counter moves would enhance his pass rush skills.
• He’s a high-effort pass rusher who shows good initial quickness and the ability to beat blockers to the inside.
