Scouting Report: Strengths
- Athletic for his size, with light feet and smooth movement skills. Possesses a loose body to redirect momentum, bend and play with leverage. Gets a good initial jump. Usually aggressive and active. Hard worker with toughness.
- He’s very instinctive when it comes to countering and solid with overall hand usage.
- He’s flexible enough to bend the edge, and he’s at his best when Eboigbe can use his quickness and change-of-direction abilities to counter back inside.
- Eboigbe could be molded to fit as a three-technique, five-technique, or edge rusher at the next level. Eboigbe has the ability to thrive as a versatile pass rusher as well as a run stuffer.
- A savvy, versatile and instinctive edge rusher who did a little bit of everything, he was especially effective getting to the quarterback.
- Played with good leverage, even on the nose, despite average bulk. Hustle defender with a good bull rush inside that can close and get home when quarterbacks leave the pocket.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- While he’s a decent lateral mover, Eboigbe doesn’t show great closing speed when he has to chase in pursuit.
- Eboigbe also shows some stiffness when trying to bend the edge, often getting pushed past the pocket — he seems more comfortable countering back inside.
- Never out of a play, but can get out of control and work himself away from the action.
