Scouting Report: Strengths
- Intelligent player who can play "MIKE" linebacker despite his lack of size because of his instincts and ability to find the ball in traffic.
- Grubbs shows excellent awareness in coverage when dropping into zone.
- Grubbs shows good quickness off the line of scrimmage and flashes the violent hands to win around the edge.
- Tougher between the tackles than many expect. Fluid and quick drop into zone, covers enough ground to be Tampa-2 "MIKE" and knows where the markers are.
- Reads quarterbacks eyes and reacts quickly to targets in zone coverage.
- Greet feel in coverage. Often arrives at the receiver at the same time as the ball, giving up few yards after the catch. Possesses straight-line speed to stay with or chase down receivers in man.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Grubbs lacks the speed of a chase and- tackle guy. Grubbs lacks twitch as a pass rusher and lacks the feet and flexibility to threaten around the edge.
- Loses size battle to many tight ends and is easily pushed away on out routes.
- Inconsistent hustle. Only adequate change-of-direction ability. Also loses his balance too often in the open field. Lacks size to bull rush stronger tackles.
