- He has the strong core and powerful hands to shed blockers, and he shows excellent instincts with the ability to quickly locate the ball.
- His hand use is excellent; he’s strong in the upper body and consistently swats away blockers.
- Average quickness and power and his bull rush will be stonewalled. Comes off the snap high, losing leverage.
- He has an excellent feel for working off blockers and knowing how and when to counter as the play goes on.

- While Ojomo has violent hands, he uses them too inconsistently. Ojomo tends to let blockers get into his chest, and he’ll waste time hand fighting due to a limited array of pass rush moves.
- Ojomo isn’t a true edge burner and might be better off kicking inside on passing downs.
- He’s a straight-line mover who doesn’t have the range to chase in pursuit.
