- 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.
