Scouting Report: Strengths
- Kiser can move laterally and chase in pursuit. A tough, violent tackler with a non-stop motor, Kiser also shows good awareness when dropping into coverage.
- Gets pressures on inside stunts and was too explosive for college guards to handle.
- Shows toughness to get under the pads of tackles to bull them, club them upfield to get the inside lane, or fight through blocks for secondary rush when the passer steps up.
- Has the fluid hips and long arms to turn and run with tight ends, as well as excellent range when dropping into zone coverage.
- Flashes closing speed and agility to reach passers from the blind side or up the middle before they can escape.
- Kiser shows good speed and closing burst when blitzing.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- As a pass rusher, Kiser needs the scheme to create deception and confusion to give him a free run.
- As good as he is attacking downhill, he can get overaggressive and overrun plays, opening up cutback lanes for counter runs.
- He’ll also need to be covered in the run game, more of a Will than a Mike in a 4-3 alignment.
