Jayden Virgin-Morgan LB Boise State |
NFL Draft Profile & Scouting Report

Scouting Report: Weaknesses

• Pass rush is his weakest trait, with more effort than plan off the edge
• Built most of his production against Mountain West competition
• Managed just two pressures across his two Power Four matchups
• Tackling consistency wavers when he arrives out of control

Scouting Report: Summary

A versatile, oversized edge-linebacker hybrid at Boise State, Virgin-Morgan offers a rare blend of size and movement, with the fluidity to drop into coverage and the motor to chase down runs at 260 pounds. He sets a firm edge, forces the ball back inside and finishes plays, and his positional flexibility lets a defense line him up on the ball, off it and over the slot.

However, his pass rush is his weakest tool, leaning on effort rather than a plan, and the production came largely against Mountain West competition; in his two games against Power Four lines he managed just two pressures, a real caution flag that the level of competition inflated his tape. His tackling consistency also wavers when he arrives out of control.

Overall, Virgin-Morgan projects as a developmental sub-package and special-teams contributor whose size, coverage comfort and versatility are the draw, with the pass-rush role and level of competition the questions he has to answer at the next level. He fits a multiple defense that can move him around and hide him from a full-time rush role early, and a team that values a big, rangy chess piece will take the developmental swing. The size and versatility are worth a late flier, but he is a projection, not a plug-and-play piece.
