Jared Goldwire DL Louisville Draft Profile

Strengths

• Tall, solid frame with adequate length and has done a nice job losing the bad weight and firming his body.
• Played with lean and leverage against the run, tough for one man to move (sometimes double-teams, too).
• Plays with leverage at the point of attack whether inside or outside. Keeps eyes in the backfield when inside; moves linemen to either side with strong hands.
• Strength gives ends a chance to twist inside and linebackers free lane to the passer on blitzes.
• Quarterbacks and ballcarriers feel his strength when he plants them in the backfield.

Weaknesses

• Needs to keep his pad level low; pops upright and plays too tall, struggling to maintain leverage off the snap.
• 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.
• Quick first step with fluid movements off the ball. Highly competitive and fierce, showing relentless effort to the pocket with a nonstop motor
• Misses tackles, even when he gets his hands on the ballcarrier. Needs to improve hand placement and technique.
• Average athletically with average straight line speed and tight hips. Not a natural bender. Lacks secondary pass-rush moves.
