Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Smalls displays good lateral movement skills, capable of working his way down the line with decent range when chasing in pursuit.
  • Looks the part. Possesses a long, athletic build with room for additional muscle mass. Flashes a burst off the snap, good enough to cross the face of collegiate tackles and put him in position to make big plays behind the line of scrimmage.
  • His handwork is excellent. He is tough against the run, playing with a firm base when setting the edge and showing the upper-body strength to stack and shed blockers.
  • His fluidity and speed allow him to cover a lot of ground when dropping back into zone, and Smalls is capable of turning and running with tight ends.
  • Smalls could fit as a 3-4 OLB, as he held his own when he was asked to drop into coverage at times.
  • He’s explosive off the line of scrimmage, showing the quickness that sets blockers back on their heels.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • He’s going to struggle at the point of attack. As a pass rusher, Smalls lacks the ideal length to ward off blockers and too often allows linemen to get into his chest.
  • Is still a bit raw as a pass rusher and needs to diversify his repertoire of pass-rush moves.
  • Smalls remains a bit raw, as he is inconsistent with his hand use and lacks violence in his hands

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
