Strengths

• Lower than offensive lineman on every short-yardage play. Good agility and ability to change direction for his size.
• Short, stumpy build so he typically wins the leverage battle. When he does so, Chapman can be tough to move, even showing the ability to handle double-teams.
• Rarely goes to the ground, showing good balance from his high school wrestling days.
• Played with good leverage, even on the nose, despite average bulk. Hustle defender with a good bull rush inside that can close and get home when quarterbacks leave the pocket.
• Provides some secondary interior pass rush, getting most penetration when playing three technique.

Weaknesses

• Must improve hand use and read-and-react skills. Lacks the violent hands to shed and can be eliminated by double-team blocks.
• Sees the ball well but is stuck on blocks when head-up; does not shed to make plays often enough.
• Inconsistent in his ability to separate from blocks, however, making him more of a nuisance than a snap-to-snap terror.
• Lacks closing speed and inconsistent quickness off the snap prevents him from being an elite pass rusher.
• Good strength, though his marginal arm length limits his ability to grab hold of ballcarriers as they run by.
