Drafted: 2021: ROUND: 2 - Pick Number: 41 (DET)
Explosive defensive tackle, Levi Onwuzurike is long and rangy. He has good technique and is athletic (as can be seen on run defense in particular). Still somewhat raw (especially in terms of pass rush) observers were disappointed to see him opt out of the 2020 season.
Is a very explosive athlete for a DT who has good acceleration but still has good but not great size (288 Lbs) so you won't see him playing on the nose. He didn't get to the QB enough and could do to improve his pass rushing moves.
The DL class for the 2021 draft is not seen as being particularly strong and that should help a player with a high motor and plenty of potential like Levi to rise (but no further than a day 2 pick).
