Scouting Report: Strengths
- Baron has the strong core and powerful hands to shed blockers, and Baron shows excellent instincts with the ability to quickly locate the ball.
- His spin move is already NFL-caliber, and he displays a very good motor.
- He has ideal length as an edge rusher, with room to add more weight onto his frame.
- Baron has the classic frame and long arms with some explosion, power and ability to close.
- As a pass rusher, he shows quickness off the line and has the fluid athleticism and flexibility to bend the edge.
- Challenges inside with quickness and strong hands. Run-and-chase defender who can leave a mark.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Baron struggles to shed blockers and doesn’t show ideal lateral movement skills. He also needs to make better use of his length and hands in the pass rush.
- While Baron has violent hands, he uses them too inconsistently. Baron tends to let blockers get into his chest, and he’ll waste time hand fighting due to a limited array of pass rush moves.
- Rarely the first player off the snap, even when lined up over the ball, but his length, effort and short-area quickness still pressures double teams and helps penetrate gaps.
